[Ekiga-list] Registration and set-up should be more intuitive...
While I agree, it's not that difficult to understand - a friend and I both had exactly the same problems setting things up. After you go through the installation process, you kind of assume that you are getting registered, unless you read the small print carefully. It would be nice if it was really clear that you are giving the information to connect to an existing account, and not registering a new one. I know it's there, but it should be shorter and clearer. Most people don't read those things, and very likely you won't either. You assume certain things. When I get asked for my full name, then username and password - I assume I'm getting registered. Because I have never encountered a log-in so far that asked me for anything besides Username and Password. I wouldn't even point that out if my friend didn't fall for the same fallacy a day later. I would suggest a short line like If you do NOT have an Ekiga Account yet, click HERE to register Above the fields where you enter your user information. Secondly, I believe I had to go into the Account settings to adjust the settings after registration. They weren't set correctly by the druid. And If someone, like me, never used SIP VOIP services, you cannot possibly know what a Registrar Is supposed to be. After you have registered it should say clearly what goes where in the account settings. I am usually not nearly as picky with any other program, but since the purpose of this program is to communicate with people, I want to be able to tell my friends to install and register, without having to provide them with the necessary information about SIP services. Also, a test call should be implemented. I've read on a couple of sites I've tried the ekiga test call... But I couldn't find the address. Anyway, it should be in the contacts by default. It's rather tedious to find out if the audio settings are correct by calling someone. I know this is a lot of criticism for one post. Please don't take it the wrong way. I'm very excited that there is a native VOIP client for gnome, and I had less trouble with it so far then I did with Open Wengo. But the points I've listed are really mundane, and would make a big difference in my opinion. thanks for your time, Roman A. ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
Re: [Ekiga-list] ekiga community
My personal thought, no, never. Atleast the way I know/work with it not. What ekiga is laking is a 'buddy list'. People like that, people want that. So what you'd want is incorporate the video/voice capabilities of ekiga in to pidgin. Then you have something that has a chance to compete with skype. Add a whitelist directory and your good to go. 1 client to do it all, thought video/audio with other clients would have to be reversed engineerd and shit like that.

Hey a person can dream right. i think a better idea will be building a jabber voice-chat client or adding voice-chat facility to gajim. we do not need to spend huge amounts of time to reverse-engineer YAHOO or MSN protocols for voice-chat. building on an OpenSource protocol is a much better idea. i am still not able to get any of my friends switch to Ekiga because all of them are Windows users and for them (only for them,the Windows users) it is very much difficult to set up Ekiga, the codecs, the run-time environment, no buddy list, long start-up times (which actually is connection time when Ekiga starts up :-) but i see those users are switching away from YAHOO and Skype to Google Talk because Google Talk is small in size (just 1.5 MB) and it does not clutter and it is much easier to set-up + sound quality is much better. when new client with features like: 1.) better (or i should say good) sound quality 2.) buddy list (i hate YAHOO way) 3.) less cluttered 4.) a simple design, simple UI (like Google Talk) 5.) lot less settings/preferences/features then it will sweep the market like GNOME/KDE did to the Desktp market. OpenSource protocols are a much better alternative than time-sucking reverse engineering task. people do not want YAHOO, Skype or Google Talk. they want to talk and i think doing simply this one thing will be much better target. i also think following the UNIX way - do one thing and do it well - will lead to the resolution of problems. we do not need to add Webcam features and load of other extra functionalities and eye candy built into the IM. we can just focus on 1 task -- Voice-Chat client and put our efforts and energy into that. BTW, i think Ekiga has one feature that none of the IM have, the audio codecs for different bandwidth requirements and when everything fails then Ekiga shines on a much lower bandwidth connection :-) -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Re: [Ekiga-list] ekiga community
Strange comment indeed Ekiga (the service) as just an off shoot of Ekiga (the application), set up so that people have a choice of a free 'dial tone' provider. If you considered Ekiga as just one of many SIP providers you could argue that there are more SIP/H323 users in the world than Skype users. I can probably call more destinations via SIP than I could via the Skype network. Will it every be as 'popular' as Skype? Probably not, but then its not propriatory so it gets my 'vote'. Simon.
