I am sorry that this left you disappointed, but the features are largely determined by what the authors tell me about their projects themselves; also since I want to give an impression of the project From the view of the authors. Since the people working on Speex hadn't really spoken about GnomeMeeting, IIRC, it didn't appear in the Speex feature. But I think GnomeMeeting sounds quite interesting, so it might be even better to do a full feature on GnomeMeeting instead of merely having a side note within a Speex feature. If you are interested in this, you'll find the Brave GNU World standard questions attached to this mail - just fill them out and mail them back to me, that is really all I need from you. Regards and Merry Christmas, Georg
Brave GNU World standard questions: ----------------------------------- INTRODUCTION: These are the standard questions for the Brave GNU World column that can be found online at http://brave-gnu-world.org. It has become customary to fill out these questions and mail them back to <column gnu org> in order to give me a good feeling/impression about a project. This also applies to non-technical projects, btw. Please feel free to be as verbose as you want as more information will allow me to gain a more complete picture which I can then use to write a more complete feature. QUESTIONS: * What is it? * Who would use it? * Why would they use it instead of similar projects? * (Programming) language used in this project? * Special features/strengths? * Special problems? * Who is working on it? * History of the project? * Why did the project start? * Current status of the project? * Plans for the close and distant future? * Do you need help? If so: of what kind? * Interesting/fun stories that might juice up the story? * Website/FTP addresses? * License?! * Standard documents to read in this context? * Anything you would like to see mentioned? * Answer to a question I forgot? NOTE: Everything you want me to read should be sent to me by mail because very often I will take my mail with me and read it where I don't have access to the net.
