After having a private beta launch, we did a poll with people who showed interest in planning the project, to prioritize development of features in prav app. The results of the poll are out. We will focus our resources on these features as priority now. Below is the screenshot of the outcome of the poll: Screenshot of results of our poll Some of the features are useful for the whole xmpp protocol, while others are goals specific to prav project.

Prav app project plans to form a Multi State Cooperative Society in India. The legal requirement to do so is to have at least 50 members each from at least two Indian states. Currently, we have crossed the 50 member mark from Kerala only and trying to meet the requirement from a second state. The state Maharashtra has 19 members as of now and other states have 6 or less. You can help by becoming a member if you are interested in the prav project or by getting your contacts to be members.

Good news! We have initial version of prav app ready and working. We will test the app with people who are interested in the project and looking to have a public beta release soon. Many thanks to all who helped us reach this milestone. Please check the credits page for more details.
