Xuggler no longer maintains windows binaries, so users would have to compile xuggler themselves which no one will do. The screensharing is a usability catastrophe and features 10+ severe usability issues, including privacy related problems. It fails to work for most users and when configured it does not work reliably. I propose removing this feature and reintroducing it later when it was reimplemented properly. I cannot believe there is even one users that is actually depending on this feature who would complain about the removeal, because there are many free tools available for screensharing that work way better than this piece of code. The user experience and the trust in the quality of saros is dramatically reduced by experimental features that simply don't work for most users and work annoyingly bad if they manage to configure it. For a commercial software that would be inacceptable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Franz Zieris (franzzieris) Date: 2012-05-23 09:06 Message: This is not a "7", so I lowered it to my favorite level "5". In my understanding an "experimental feature" can have some severe issues (both technical and UX) without losing the status of a "feature". @netcorps: Concerning your "commercial software" argument: Do you mean software, that somebody has to pay money for, or software that is used in commercial settings? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=843359&aid=3510991&group_id=167540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
