Another new app... sigh. As a mere user of the GNOME DE [since before the red-carpet Ximian days] there does seem to be a tragic amount of re-invention in recent years; abandoning well-working featureful application in favor of partially complete very limited applications [like GNOME Music as one example]. It seems, even from my own experience as a developer on other projects that Open Source actually struggles to achieve a substantive degree of collaboration. > Note: Do not forget another alternative being updated, as Ekiga. > http://blog.ekiga.net/?p=201 Yes. +1 Ekiga -- Adam Tauno Wliams <mailto:awilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
