Sorry for messing with threading but I originally received this message in a batch and only got to answering it now.

I think the main feature list is already there in cheese. People want a simple photobooth-like application to play with their webcams. All other features are really just eye candy. > > A lot is possible, but realistically I don't know.

I think cheese is in a far better state than some other applications were back then when they got included. Inclusion also means a lot of feedback helping us to improve the software like it helped file-roller become what it is today. Of course no software has bugs but there is always a point one release to get rid of them and I can't imagine a situation where use of cheese could lead to any data loss (of course it will lead to certain productivity loss but that's the point of cheese). > jaap and myself already "made" a decision, but i actually would like to > hear some comments from you guys! I strongly support the proposal of including cheese in GNOME 2.22. The application already received a fair amount of community testing including other GNOME developers who helped me by sending script dumps I asked for on the cheese website. Out of well over a hundred mails I received only two people said cheese would mistake their TV tuner card for a webcam but that is currently limited by HAL capabilities of telling these devices apart. -- Patryk Zawadzki PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
