The Python API is as close as possible to the C API. But there are some differences, the GError** in C become exceptions in python for example. Also the Python API has a .dispose() method on FsSession and FsStream so you can dispose of the objects before all references are gone (in C you should just give up all of your references). > * Is there some example of audio or video conferencing?

There is tests/fs2-gui.py, which is a complete example of a video calling API using an ad-hoc signalling protocol. There is also tests/commandline/simple-call.c. You can also look at telepathy-farsight, which converts the Telepathy API into the Python API (but that has some strange code, because this part of the Telepathy API is a bit quirky). > * Is there some tutorial to start with?

You may want to look at my slides from FOSS.IN http://foss.in/2008/register/slides/Farsight_2__Video_conferencing_made_easy_691.pdf > * How can I contribute to the project? Tell us anything that doesn't work for you, send patches, etc. The developers are available at #farsight on freenode most of the time. Also, Farsight only provides the media layer, if you want the signalling layer too (SIP, XMPP, etc), you may want to look at the Telepathy project (telepathy.freedesktop.org), which has a much higher level API. -- Olivier Crête olivier.cr...@collabora.co.uk Collabora Ltd
