Thanks! Elisa is indeed getting pretty these days :) > The idea of a browser integration sounds very nice but very complicate > to implement! As pointed out by Guillaume, it wouldn't be that complex, it just requires some time and resources which we cannot spare at the moment. It would definitely rock though! > What about starting by adding plugins like RSS reader, messenger (maybe > multiprotocol in the future) with an easy interface for calling (and > video-calling)? We are already working on integrating RSS feeds in Elisa, and as pointed out by Philippe we are looking closely at Telepathy. > I looked for the *SKYPE* python API some time ago in order to undestand > if is possible to port the videocallings in Elisa but the VIDEO IN/OUT > API in linux is not avaliable yet..Therefore, there are other protocols > that are open and ready to implement. Hum yes, that and Skype is not free (as in free speech). However I guess developing it as an external plugin would be feasible. > Webtv integration is awaited too ... and we are actively working on integrating various webtv services in Elisa.

From my very quick look at the project's page, I couldn't locate any information about integration in other apps. I couldn't find any reliable information on AIR being open source, but its distribution license terms seem quite restrictive. > I think that these plugins (with the youtube,flickr,shoutcast ones) are > the perfect way to surf the web for a media center > > Cheers > > Andrea Thanks for your feedback!
