I decided to just send these here, as being more of specific interest to us and not general interest to f-announce-l. Fedora Documentation Steering Committee (FDSCo) 14 June 2005 20:00 UTC every Tuesday #fedora-docs on irc.freenode.net
Attendees: ========== Tommy Reynolds Stuart Elliss Gavin Henry Karsten Wade (gavel)
Updates: ========
Stuart - X > Gstreamer is not ready for a student bounty, vnc2swf requires new packaging work, probably not the bounty for us to use. Still looking for new ideas.
New Actions: ============
Karsten - Note on wiki about symlinking inside a module to the docs-common - for DOCG ideas page
Karsten - Define common staging environment, run by list.
Karsten - Decommission the Package List doc.
Tommy - Work with Elliot to get stuff moved in CVS, updates to example-tutorial, announcement to f-docs-l
Paul - evaluation of xmlformat in progress

Can I ask what the interest in vnc2swf is? I ask only because there is an experimental version of my rfbproxy program which has support that a user contributed for exporting to PPM frames. This can in turn be encoded as Ogg Theora or whatever. Is that useful?

I'd definitely be game to try it. I suggested window/screen capture as an area for a Fedora Google bounty, as it's something with a lot of potential for docs and other area. This was announced last week:

But speaking to the developer, it depends on gstreamer and X developments.

It tried unsuccessfully to get it running in RHEL3. Probably requires the latest version of gstreamer and Xorg

Yes. The software relies on Gstreamer to do the actual work, so features like window capture and Flash output require plug-in development work on Gstreamer, which I feel is too much of a moving target for a student to bring to satisfactory conclusion in the timescale that Google allow. If Tim has something more self-contained we could perhaps make use of it ourselves now, even if a more integrated solution will become available later.
Thanks for the link to that discussion - I spotted it myself last night and put my two cents worth in. --

Well, take a look:

I'm afraid I haven't had time to actually test it out myself yet -- it was Brent Baccala who actually did the coding for it.
