Hi all,
After Julien's e-mail, and Jan's recent e-mails about various handlers, I think, it is the appropriate time to send an e-mail about what I would like to see in Ekiga 3.00, and when I would like to see it. Ekiga 3.00 ---------- * Ekiga 3.00 should have a new core backend for contacts using Julien's code. This will allow more fancy things. Ekiga should be based on the notion of "contact" and not anymore on the notion of "calling". * It should have a new menu (Contact) instead of (Call). The main user interface will be a roster. The address book will (perhaps, perhaps not) be replaced by a search window allowing you to search for contacts in various sources and add them to your roster. * The roster will support SIP Presence and messaging. It will be stable. When connected to an Asterisk server, it will show you who is talking and who is not. * Ekiga will be able to detect IP addresses changes, when network interfaces appear or disappear. It will not complain anymore when it is started without any network interface. * Ekiga will be able to detect when an USB headset or camera is plugged, and propose you to use it. * Ekiga will run on windows. * Ekiga will support the IAX2 protocol. * Ekiga will support the H.263 video codec. * A new manual needs to be written * Better NAT support * New configuration assistant * Will support XVideo output Ekiga.net --------- * It will have a new design * It will support presence (not easy to achieve!) >From the above, nothing is finished. When I say "nothing", I really mean, nothing. So, there are the areas where you can help. I think that with the current development rythm, Ekiga 3.00 will be released 3 years after Ekiga 2.00. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\ Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ NOVACOM : http://www.novacom.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list
