So I'm not sure if it works well for every webcam thats absolutely right. we dont have a clue at the moment, on how many webcams cheese actually works. for now, we got about 10 reports of different webcams, where cheese actually worked. > 2) Cheese needs more HIG love you are right. im not really convinced with the ui at the moment and we can do better for shure. > 3) Also feature wise it needs some more things for it to be 1.0 > material (preference dialog, ability to select multiple items in the > icon view sorry, but if we think in that way, we will never reach a 1.0 version. a software is never finished and you can always add more and more features. on the other hand its true that we are missing some features, that would really enhance the workflow with cheese. > 4) And as Shaun is mentioning, we need a manual there is a bug! ehm somewhere... hmm.. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480628 jaap: should we forward that to the doc team? 5) vincent needs some more ice to be convinced ;) > > I think it's better to wait for 2.24 i dont want to take that decision. but in my opinion its getting close: feature freeze is on january 17th. that means we would have to finish our feature list by that date. is that possible? daniel > > Jaap > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > desktop-devel-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list -- this mail was sent using 100% recycled electrons ================================================ daniel g. siegel <dgsiegel gmail com> http://home.cs.tum.edu/~siegel gnupg key id: 0x6EEC9E62 fingerprint: DE5B 1F64 9034 1FB6 E120 DE10 268D AFD5 6EEC 9E62 encrypted email preferred
