There's a lot of open-source VoIP clients there that can be used with NetBSD in real or potentially.
Not all of them are present as packages ready to deploy.
You need to create list of available open-source software, check presence of packages in pkgsrc and report results.
Results should be presented in plain text, HTML or Markdown format, for each package the following should be reported:
- software project name
- project home page URL
- source licence (MIT, BSD, LGPL, GPL)
- date of the most recent release
- list of supported VoIP protocols (SIP, XMPP/Jingle, other)
- availability in pkgsrc
- availability in FreeBSD ports collection
- list of supported operating systems (NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin/MacOS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, MS Windows)
- type(s) of user interface (curses, X, Motif, GTK, Qt)
- other notes (reference to Wikipedia list, if software is present there, former name, if it is a fork, and so on).
Consider http://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/remote as reference.

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Deep Inder Singh. You have 72 hours to complete this task, good luck!
checked the link given in task description and extracted all the usefull information as much as it was possible. But no information related to type of UI was available. Although I searched over the Internet for a day and found very minimum useful information which i included in the uploaded work. Kindly review the work, and let me know in case any further changes required.

This doesn't satisfies representation requirements. Read again: "Results should be presented in plain text, HTML or Markdown format..."
One of the mentors has sent this task back for more work. Talk to the mentor(s) assigned to this task to satisfy the requirements needed to complete this task, submit your work again and mark the task as complete once you re-submit your work.

Hi,
The html files that you have uploaded contain no content, so we are unable to see your updated submissions.
However, based on the content of the spreadsheet that you uploaded first, non of the software that you mention (AOL Instant Messenger, Skype, TeamViewer and Yahoo Messenger) are open-source, so do not meet the criteria specified in the first paragraph of the task description.
Note, that the link given in the task description is a reference. It shows a similar survery, but done for VNC and RDP implementations. The list of VoIP software could use a similar format to this, because the table as shown there is a good way to present the information.
Please try to contact us here or on irc.freenode.net, channel #netbsd-code if you have questions.
Thanks,
J
Sorry, but your work in its current form is unacceptable.
First, you have included completely the list of remote desktop software, that is absolutely unrelated to the task.
Second, you have ignored task requirements. This task states clearly that you should include open-source software. Even if it didn't, this program is about open-source software and open-source community.
Third, you have ignored presentation requirements twice. First time by publishing result in the form that is not mentioned in the task itself, second time by publishing it in a way that neither mentor nor organisation administrator can handle.
Based on these accounts I consider your work as plagiarism and sabotage. If you want to change my opinion, you should really work hard and demonstrate result of good quality that satisfies requirements.
Please extend my deadline I need some more time to complete this task. As my final exams are going side by side

Melange has detected that the deadline has passed and no more work can be submitted. The submitted work should be reviewed.
This task has been Reopened.
Quick cross-check with Wikipedia reveals that not all useful software is covered. There's little excuse in not checking this popular source.
Even without checking with Wikipedia your report still doesn't meet requirements: project home pages are not mentioned, availability through pkgsrc and FreeBSD ports collection is not analyzed.
Sorry, but your work is rejected.

Hi!
The representation is nice but the list is incomplete. I have noticed at least Blink and Jitsi missing, but there may be others.

Originally, I thought you only wanted pkgsrc software.

Hi!
Please, take this task seriously. There should be _no_ indication that you just ripped article from Wikipedia and threw away anything that doesn't fit. You should perform the real search too.
Currently, your report doesn't cover even the list taken from Wikipedia. How can I expect that you actually did the work you're supposed to do?
Please, read the task description again and think why requirements are written as they are (project home page, date of recent release, availability in FreeBSD ports collection and so on). It is not just for fun, this task is of the kind actual researchers do as routine, and it has practical outcomes (it affects planning the future work).
The deadline of the task has been extended with 2 days and 0 hours.
The deadline of the task has been extended with 0 days and 12 hours.
I intended to finish this task, however, I am currently on a family vacation in Europe. As a result, I will be unable to finish this task to the best of my ability. I'll let any student that wants pick up where I left.

Hello,
Thanks for assigning me the task. I have completed the list of clients with the required information. I have tried to make the file as informative and helpful as I could. I have included most of the Open Source VoIP client software.
I was unable to find the type of User Interface for Telephone and MicroSIP. I couldn't find information about that anyhwere (including their sites). For telephone, I posted on there discussion forum asking about the UI -
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/telephone-app/a9ejDeXx3Fg
- They have replied and so I have added it to the list
For MicroSIP, there was only one email available. It said "We do not provide technical support. It requires our time and resources, that we have not. Such emails will be ignored". So I was unable to find information about that.
Other than that all the information is complete. The task can be reviewed now.
Thank you :)
