[GnomeMeeting-devel-list] OPAL branch + Port status



Hello,


Is it interesting that I create an OPAL branch in CVS even if GM Opal is
not usable yet?

That would make a backup for me, and perhaps give me some motivation.

There is still a long road before a possible release. 

Basically, there are three big steps :
1) Port GnomeMeeting from OpenH323 to OPAL. That shouldn't be long
anymore as most of the required stuff is already working. So we should
have a usable version, with bugs, and with a big lack of features around
Christmas at worse.

2) Stabilize OPAL. I have started a list of bugs 1.5 months ago and
reported them to Craig and Robert. No work has been done on them, I
don't know if it is a bad news or not. 

That could mean that we are on our own to fix things. If that's the
case, then that means that the port will take longer than expected
except if a few coders start working on the project.

Craig certified me it was not the case, but things are not moving at the
moment, or moving slower than the Windows port. Craig and Robert are
very busy (which is good), but that makes things difficult for me too,
my evenings are short, too short and I sometimes have to spend several
evenings on a problem just because I do not get an answer to an email I
sent.

3) Add the missing features to OPAL :
	- fix SIP support
	- Add SIP reinvite
	- Add Video Support
	- Add Audio Codecs plugins
	- Add Call Hold support
	- Add Call Transfert support

When those 3 steps are done, then we are ready to release a first beta.
I don't have any ETA, that depends a lot on the OPAL progress, and it
seems there is none since I started working.

We are currently at stage 1). I'm not sure it is possible to reach stage
3) before the end of 2005/beginning of 2006.

Not really good news, but you need to know,
