+1 Also, as much as I would hate to see it off the list, Record is not stable enough right now to consider for v3. Until we sort out our various gst/alsa issues, we need to stay away from all of the activities that use the camera. That said, the 95% of all activities that are pure Python/Sugar should run anywhere. So we have a lot to chose from. I'll make further comments on Mel's criteria page. -walter > > _______________________________________________ > SoaS mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
