LENS leverages anti-social networking paradigm based on an underlying trust infrastructure to both extend spam protection beyond a user’s social circle and fundamentally prevent the transmission of spam across the network at the first place.<br /> <br /> The goal of this student project (or bachelor thesis) is to develop Thunderbird Social Connector (TSC), an extension for Mozilla Thunderbird email client. The main features of TSC would be;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Formation of Community / Social Network:&#039;&#039;&#039; Ability to form social network by adding email contacts as friends.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Friend Suggestion:&#039;&#039;&#039; Based on the communication patterns, suggestions are given for new friendships.<br /> <br /> Depending on the project duration and student&#039;s interest the amount of functions to be implemented in the prototype will be further adapted.<br /> <br /> == Required Skills==<br /> * Basic understanding of computer networking<br /> * Good programming skills<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * Thunderbird Extensions [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extensions/Thunderbird] [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_started_with_extension_development] [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extensions] [http://blog.donaldorgan.com/2009/02/thunderbird-extension-development.html]</div>
