Nobody is forcing anyone into anything. Hell, even if I had that power within Sarai, I would refrain from using it.

Look, at the present moment, it is pretty clear that the production folk are going to go with proprietary solutions for now, and I have no quibbles with that. At the same time Sarai can offer expertise in multimedia practice, and possibly fund sustained development in this area. So, if there are people in the ILUG-D community interested in this, we can make a genuine difference in this area in 2-3 years time. However, there has to be a gameplan, a commitment from outside developers (I can pretty much guarantee a concomitant response from within Sarai), and some kind of mechanism to ensure that milestones are met, and that there is genuine progress. I would like to discuss this further on the list, and at future meetings. I refuse to believe that audio/video production is such a difficult task from the software perspective.
