Hi, ACM Multimedia has a yearly contest for open source applications and they asked us to submit.
One of the required things in the submission is an introductory article: "A 4-page max paper including an overview of the open-source software package, its description, applications, intended audience, main features, etc.", http://www.acmmm11.org/content-call-open-source-software-competition.html I drafted that now in https://github.com/realXtend/doc/blob/master/acm_multimedia/overview.rst (shows as html in that link). Will finish on monday to meet the extended deadline. Any feedback is welcome. I don't really know ACM multimedia, and couldn't think well yet about the education related use that they are after this year especially. I don't think they mean something like TOY, but using open source in studying multimedia programming in computer science or software engineering studies or so. Perhaps some of this can be used as a general introduction text, to begin the documentation work that we'll need .. I think in general we need a end user manual next. ~Toni -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
