[X2go-dev] python-x2goserver API

[Oleksandr Shneyder]

Hallo Mike,

I very glad that you starting to work on new project related to X2Go.

However, I'm not sure, that it is a right place to discuss such
projects. This is a "X2go-dev" list. It mean, that here is all about
developing of X2Go. As you can see on http://www.x2go.org, X2Go
components are: x2goclient/plugin, x2goserver, x2gothinclient,
x2goadmintools.

I am personally very glad, that there are new interesting projects
related to x2go and I hope that we will have even more such projects in
future, but I also think, that discussion of such projects in X2Go-dev
list is off-topic.

Possible, we should create a mailing list for discussing of x2go related
projects such pyHoca and python-x2goserver API. What are you think about it?

Regards,
alex
