Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] GnomeMeeting in the very near future



Ah also,

I will first start working on plugins support because :
- I think it would be nice to Craig to know if they work or not
- Once we know they work, we can start working with him on video codecs
support : H.263+ (certainly), and MPEG-4 (perhaps?)

I plan to continue hacking on E-D-S in-between, but I feel you all need
fresh blood to test ;-)
