Package: byzanz
Severity: wishlist
After someone asked on IRC, I tried to look up the package names with
apt-cache search. I managed to find istanbul, but didn't find byzanz;
(I searched for "session record", because I found that appropriate)
Even after picking some words from the istanbul description.
Maybe you could make the descriptions more similar, e.g. one uses
"screencast creator" and "record ... desktop", the other says "Desktop
session recorder".
Maybe Byzanz could use the short description
"Session recorder producing animated GIF images"
and Istanbul
"Session recorder producing Ogg Theora video"
And both could then use the term "desktop screencast" or so in their
description; maybe mention the other as an alternative?

I'm quite happy with the current description. Even wikipedia knows the
term "screencast". Together with other important keywords like "desktop"
or "record" I think the package provides enough information to find it.
On the other side "to record a session" sounds not very familiar and at
least I have never heard the term "session recorder" before.
I'll close this bug for now, but I'm of course open to suggestions
regarding the description. For now think screencast is the main keyword
here, so there is no need to touch anything.
Cheers,
Bastian
