So how to proceed?Diverting the cinelerra community even further will certainly be the death of the community project. IMO the only ones who can decide on this are the people who are actually involved with the project. Recently that are Einar and Monty because they did some coding and Raffa as she holds the cinelerra-cv.org domain. Anyone else? just speak up if you feel to be ignored. I think only one site should remain, either we redirect cinelerra-cv.org to cinelerra.org and let Michael handle the stuff, shutting our server down, or we ask him to collaborate with us and forward cinelerra.org to our server. Did I miss any other option? Monty told on IRC that he won't mind if Michael takes over. Einar and Raffa, what do you think? I kept the Server running (even if it was poorly paied) because I don't want the project die. Michaels action now changed the situation. Now letting the project split up may make it worse. This case should be settled ASAP. Awaitung your opinions. Christian
I'm definitely not active, but you said "just speak up." The last time I used Cinelerra was 3 years ago, but have fond memories and wish to use it again.
To your credit, you are all taking the high road with - lets wait and see what Michael has planned. My thoughts: if he had really good intentions he would have gone about this in a different way. Yes, snag the domain but before unveiling a new direction... he needed to become part of the community.
Freevo, another FOSS project that I was a great advocate of, has officially been halted based on lack of development. It died from being too difficult to setup and having much easier (but less flexible) alternatives. A dependable Cinelerra, was always a trick to get setup for me. When Pitivi and friends are just a few clicks away in Ubuntu/Mint, it takes a special person or need for folks to find Cinelerra and get it working. The flavors of Cinelerra tend to make it more diluted in the market of FOSS NLE. When a person doesn't know where to go to "get Cinelerra", it looks like a dying project. :(
I can help a little with this project, but that's a different subject I'll leave for later.
