The advantage of Pitivi over MainActor is that Pitivi uses the all the gnonlin editor stuff that jokosher uses as well. One of the main reasons that Pitivi isn't where Jokosher is because the main Pitivi dev, whose name I am forgetting, is also the main gnonlin dev and the Jokosher guys kept him busy fixing gnonlin bugs. And Jono is a great community builder. In general, apps with just get open-sourced do very badly in terms of community, mostly because the devs of such an app are not used to working with the community and the very different ways the community develops vs a closed shop (even if it is freeware). > > At last UDS I was chatting with one of the fluendo guys and there was > talk of many improvements to Pitivi which is of course useful to know, > but 5 months on there's been nothing of note in terms of releases:- > > http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pitivi/0.10/ > > I'd personally put my hand in my pocket and sponsor development of an > "iMovie for Linux" if others did the same, and we had a realistic chance > of getting a product out at the end. What does one do in that situation? Well, I think the main Pitivi dev is currently out of work, as he left Fluendo.
