@brie It will be a fork of an already existing app--like Quicksy in Android and maybe other apps for other OS, depending on our funds and goals set by the cooperative scoiety through voting. And we will provide paid subscription-based service. @snikket_im
@ravi if it's based on Quicksy, does that mean it's tied to the Prav service? Or can people also use the same app to sign in to an existing account?
@badrihippo @brie @snikket_im The current plan is that the people can sign in using existing XMPP accounts.
@badrihippo
That's good to hear. Unfortunately, the users and members have to be Indians(this government is a pain). Obviously, contact with people in other countries can be made using Prav due to the federated nature of XMPP.
@brie @snikket_im
@badrihippo
No, users of Prav app don't have to be Indian but the Prav service users need to be Indian, and cooperative society members too.
You being Indian are encouraged to join us too in the cooperative society. We need more people to step in. Please fill the form on the site https://prav.app and make sure that code of conduct and social contract is fine for you.
@brie @snikket_im
@ravi yepp, i am going to register! Just trying to rope in a few more people first so we can all do it together π
@badrihippo
There are already many members. We need support from interested people. So, I encourage you to join. We also have a meeting on 26th march 5:30 PM IST at https://meet.fsci.in/prav that you can join to get introduced to the project.
@brie @snikket_im
@ravi I meant gathering a few more of my friends to join.
The meeting sounds great; will definitely try to be there!
@badrihippo Great! Looking forward to see you.
@ravi hang on, you mean the users of the free Prav app have to be Indian even if they're using a non-Prav account? So a chinwag.im (or whatever) user can't install Prav unless they're from India? Or is the restriction for accounts on the Prav server only?
(Side note: I am in fact Indian, so this question is somewhat hypothetical for me)
