A discussion about media-centers in the sense of features and so on probably belong on the media center mailing list, like elisa-devel. What a list like desktop-devel is for IMHO is figuring out cross application/system integration points. Any maybe discussing these directories and search engines is a tad overly narcissistic or something, but it is relevant for the list more than say a discussion about wether Elisa's method for displaying your audio files on screen is better/worse than Apple TV, which I feel is a very implementation specific type of topic and thus belong on elisa-devel/mythtv-devel/freevo-devel/whatever-you-media-center-devel lists. And I assure you Luis, while we are discussing practical things here like directory structures and whether Rhythmbox and Totem should support upnp AV in addition to DAAP or whatever practical interoperability issue we can come up with, the Elisa hackers are not sitting on their hands waiting for the outcome, they are instead hacking like crazy trying to improve usability and reach feature parity with whats out there already. So while Microsoft and Apple might have a head start we are not just sitting around waiting for our collective arses to be kicked ;) Christian _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
