@u_tamtam @Slow Also we have been working on Prav for over 2 years already gathering members required to register a coop in India. We need 50 members from two states to register a multi state cooperative and we are very close to that number. We are in process of finalizing bye-laws and will be registering soon. At Prav, we are happy if new people learn about Quicksy and XMPP through us even if they don’t join Prav.
Let ask few questions:
Will the app UI change?
Is there anything you can do to prevent the “This app tracks and reports your activity” warning in F-droid?
And the question related to the SMS processing center. Is the service located in India?
@Slow
Praveen - u_tamtam mentioned what I have been thinking about Prav - what’s the rationale for it to exist and why should I choose it over the original?
/Of course, I appreciate the work you and the other volunteers are doing to spread the awareness of XMPP, Privacy, and Security (in India).
@Deus another Prav volunteer here. If you need to ask about choosing it over the original, you’re probably better off with the original 😅
The personal motivation behind Prav was similar to Quicksy: to get friends onto XMPP when they’re too impatient to learn how it all works :xmpp:
We realised it helps to be running the service ourselves, and to be able to modify the app as our users request (which can of course be propagated upstream if there is interest) 🛠️
