Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Alexander Waldmann (netcorps) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Remove Voip as <0.4% of all sessions used voip Initial Comment: I propose we remove the buggy voice over IP functionality. Why? No one uses it because it doesn't work properly and is painful to configure (on my laptop it never works, on my desktop pc too). >From the users that allow to submit the anonymous usage statistics with 25341 >data sets i got the following results: Voice over IP Sessions with a duration of more than 10 seconds: 86 total of 25,341 saros sessions That means 99,656682845981% don't use voip, or the other way round: >>>> 0,34% of all saros sessions included voice over ip. <<<<< There might be users that heavily rely on VoIP that do not allow anonymous statistics submission. I honestly doubt that. It's also possible that users do not end their sessions cleanly, which would mean the statistics don't get uploaded, but given the numerous usability issues of the component, i believe this is also not the case. Let's clean up Saros, and make the basic functionality work, before we try to fix the experimental components. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Stefan Rossbach (kargor) Date: 2012-12-17 08:59 Message: Feature is NOT enabled by default anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stefan Rossbach (kargor) Date: 2012-11-25 16:53 Message: Moved to the feature request tracker, also this request only ask for removal of that feature :P ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stefan Rossbach (kargor) Date: 2012-03-25 14:03 Message: We have Skype support for Saros. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stefan Rossbach (kargor) Date: 2012-03-25 14:01 Message: In its current that it is awfull, noise is transmitted, there is no DB threshold, so everything that your microphone is recording is sent over the wire. We should make it experimental and hide it in a dark place, so users will not see it on the first look. Just say that it is experimental stuff and ask the user if he really wants to turn that on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alexander Waldmann (netcorps) Date: 2012-03-25 10:50 Message: I forgot to add: Any not properly designed or buggy component reduces the trust of the user in the application, and the overall user experience. Users that directly try voice over ip and screensharing in their first session probably won't take another look at saros again. We could reimplement this feature, but Skype is way better.... For people that do not want to use skype, there are numerous free applications that tunnel/punch holes/work even behind the most restrictive company proxy/firewall combinations one could imagine. We should maybe think of integrating some of the software installed on the users pc, like skype or vnc etc. to easily trigger the functions of those tools which work reliably. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=843362&aid=3511081&group_id=167540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
