This is quite an interesting question. I must admit I've seen myself the same issue you reported: my ekiga 3 not being able to accurately display presence for my contacts in the long run. Why I did not reported this? My packs are not latest stable version, I did not have something more accurate than just I can see it did not work all time. In short, I did not believe I had enough to track the bug down efficiently. And I also admit my commitment to this project is sometime weaker... Let's no fall in the mistake of being guilty, but when comparing to other similar projects backed by profit, it is quite depressing. This also raise question about the quality process for Ekiga. I do not count much on our users to perform such testing by themselves, except for obvious bugs like craches, totally broken feature, etc. Fortunately there is people like you taking time to report, but this is not the right way for most people who need a lot of guidance for it and who probably do not have the culture background to clearly see how much feedback is important for us. I congrats you for being so insistant on this issue. Most people would have given up a long time ago. I think we should improve this part of our practise: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Pre-release_test And I also need to set back up the daily snapshots/last stable for Ubuntu. So many work to do... I think we should: 1- ease the process of reporting issues; waiting for people to show up in the right place, then asking for a -d 4 probably make it harder to report. 2- build up automatic testing/regression test for ekiga Best regards, Yannick _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
