Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Apologies



Hi,

now that the flaming is over:

1) any device plugin should accept to open things under as many names as
possible (user-friendly, devices or whatever) ;

2) any device plugin should probably avoid giving the same device
several times under different names: it should give it under the most
convenient name (I know I'm hiding the issue behind "convenient", but
the point is: no duplication) ;

3) at least one device plugin already has no link to a /dev file: the
AVC plugin just knows about a device number on the IEEE1394 bus (if I
remember well), and hides it by getting the name of the device ;

4) if you[Craig] really look forward to see GM on win32, perhaps you can
help Damien to shake Xavier Ricco, who volunteered to do the port, said
he could get it running, but didn't give any details on neither how to
make it compile/run (patch or some such) nor how well it worked, before
he left for vacation ;-)

5) it isn't exactly about the flaming subject, but since it was about
pwlib's plugins and the win32 port was mentioned: pwlib lacks a video
input plugin on MOSX, and that's as far as I know the only thing that
prevents a GM port on MOSX...
