If I were in there shoes I'd have to ask "what's in it for me?" Does AT&T have a pool of programmers who maintain VNC and tweak it as they need? I know version numbers have increased since it's initial release, but is it in their interests to write free software. Maybe I'm just being cynical. :-) > 1) this will probably collide with commercial interest on the part of > some of the above mentioned folks working on vnc at the moment True, but hopefully they'll be publishing some of the source code as part of the GPL. > 2) I dont have a design written up yet and its probably a bad idea to > come forward with this now without having thought through the details Would it be worth trying to make a one size fits all vncviewer? Maybe one that reports back what flavour of client you're connecting to (unix, max, windows) and what version of VNC server you're looking at too? (tight, tridia, vnc, vncthing, etc). > Am I making sense with this? If so who'd be interested? Const? Anyone? As an end-user, I think this is a very good idea. However, I have next to zero programming skills so I can only offer limited help (and mainly from a Windows point of view at that I might add). Would a central code point be a good place for people to make wish-lists? I know I've got a few. :-) Just my 2 cents.
