Hello guys,
Looks like my E-Mail brought some excitement into the list :) First of all it was not my intention, I just wanted to share with you some of my thoughts. Second, I don't think that we will have something ready before the end of the year (depending on the resources I'll have). For sure, if some one wants to work into the same direction, you are welcome. I also want to add some of my thoughts about NX and X2Go. NX is obsolete. It was obsolete many years ago. Xorg is becoming obsolete as well. And X2Go is already obsolete too, because we are sticking to this technologies way too long. Don't understand me wrong, those are great technologies, which will be used for many years more by some people and companies, we should not drop their support and we should not stop to improve them. But we also should not things like NX slow down our development. Because majority of the users don't want NX. They want to use modern desktops and modern applications. And they don't care, that NX works better with legacy desktops and legacy X11 apps on 256K network, because they are not using them anyway and they have at home in worse case 10M network and even on their cell phones they have a good Internet connection.
@Stefan: I think it's great, that you finding sponsoring and it helps to support the project. But we also should not forget, to separate the wishes of our sponsors and our customers from that what is good for the project. We can't concentrate only on that what our sponsors want, because in this case at some point they'll be our only users. We should also think more about future and what should we do to win new users to the project.
All above: well said! I share your view on all points given.
At the end I want to give you some points I think I will work on in the next one or two years:
- Improvement of x2go kdrive: adaptive compression level, video compression for some regions, frame dropping, etc
Nice!
- x2gokdrive client - HTML5, Using OpenGL for image composition
Nice!
- Finally rewrite x2go client, multi session support, x2go kdrive client should be part of x2go client, etc.
Wait, for PyHoca-GUI, I'd love to have a standalone application. Maybe
provide the x2gokdriveclient as a libqt<foobar> shared lib and have
(a) a command line executable wrapped around it and (b) use it in X2Go
Client for rendering.
Thanks+Greets, Mike
