What I'm willing to say is that :
  - I'm working hard on the SIP part and on GM 2.00
  - I also need to work on the platform we will ofer with GM 2.00
  - the SIP part is far to be done: people request encryption, SIP
presence (at least), and support for multiple lines

Julien is working on :
  - the much requested DBUS support
  - the more much requested WIN32 port

All of this is done in our spare time.

So I don't see video codecs plugins happening before 2007 if nobody else
than both of us contribute to them. Either by coding, or financially (so
that Craig, or Julien, or myself, or anybody else can do it during its
paid work).

Do you want to contribute?
