Hello x2go list,
I've added one of my not so important mail accounts to this list to share my opinion about nx based development in the future. I don't like mailing lists because they only collect spam (to add my opinion to a already discussed topic).
Strange ideas do you have.
Why don't you use this? http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel
Or read this list as a usenet group. With both you can post too.
I've read some of the mesages here and I've taken a look to this project. I really don't think this is a good idea to work on a not compatible nx server. There are already enough free servers and clients in the world and we all should try to save a amount of compatibility to all projects.
You have a point, but I like the way how X2go works more. It's cleaner. The way how Nomachine NX works is strange, and not really compatible with how SSH works.
There is also a plugin for mozilla (moznx) so you won't need to develop a own. Although i like the idea of the file transport and print module of x2go (pulseaudio too is already possible with opennx).
I did not know about openNX. Interesting project.
If you would change to python, i would help you to get things to work with neatx/freenx. Then you too would have no problem with the packaging, because everything you need is already done.
If everything is done, you don't need X2go!
What do you think about at minimum getting those interesting features build up in external programms, so you can use it with all nx servers (or even vncs)?
A proxy would be nice, but not very important in my opinion. I think it's not much work for other NX clients to support the X2go way.
You say "all nx servers". In my opinion there is not even a good alternative for an OSS NX server. Only FreeNX, but that seems to be dead. And I have heard the new version of Nomachine NX will become completely different...
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
