Hello Anton, thank you for joining. You've made a wonderful overview, I believe it worth to be posted to Openmeetings wiki, so our wiki become a source of open source communication knowledge. :-)
IMHO, it would be nice to understand and investigate where Openmeetings currently is before adding more code. 1. I already launched Openmeetings on Android pads, but it didn't work with cameras and microphones at that time. It would be great if someone would try and report results if our flash client supports microphone on tabs now. 2. For phones a SIP client may seem a better solution, and Timur believes he completed SIP gateway for Openmeetings. It would be completely true after independent professional would be able to connect through SIP gateway using only code and docs available openly. -- With best regards / с наилучшими пожеланиями, Alexei Fedotov / Алексей Федотов, http://dataved.ru/ +7 916 562 8095 ...sic transit gloria mundi 2012/3/16 [email protected] <[email protected]>: > Or in other words: What was your idea about the video part of the > application?
