<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
[lots of important information]<br>
<br>
I'm very happy that you took the time to write such an extensive
reply. Most of it was indeed what I had hoped to read, for the
remainder I will eagerly await Heinz's e-mail/post.<br>
<br>
Just a few odd comments that came to my mind after reading your
reply:<br>
A lot of what you wrote should find its way into the FAQ or at
least some other place on the project homepage.<br>
That way, people know whom to contact for which aspect (re: work
load sharing), and also where more manpower is needed (non-Ubuntu
packaging, NX code re-write,...).<br>
<br>
Regarding Univention, you wrote:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre>This is interesting... I have been on Univention's partner summit in
Feb this year and they told me about those plans. As I know that they
are heavily Pythonian I talked to the main developer (his name was als
Stefan, I think) about a Python API being available for X2go and left
my contact details. I have heard from them again, so far...
Interesting indeed.
</pre>
</blockquote>
Wasn't me :-D I don't work for them. Since you left your contact
details, maybe you could try to contact them and try to find out?
After all, if you call/e-mail them, your name might ring some
bells there.<br>
If there still are legal issues regarding the x2go name, then
Univention might be in for some brown stuff hitting the fan by
publishing their solution and mentioning x2go - hope their legal
team didn't mess that one up. Would hate seeing them drop their
involvement just because of some legal fsck-up.<br>
<br>
You mentioned PyHoca-GUI and provided some download and install
instructions; this looks like it is Linux-only, though?<br>
The users I have in mind are using Windows on their client
computers.<br>
Now, I know Python is available for Windows, too - so would it be
possible for you to provide a Windows-based PyHoca-GUI, just like
the regular client?<br>
<br>
I happen to live in the south of Germany, too, though a little
more to the west than Heinz and Alex, too bad that you are way up
North, otherwise I would have suggested a "codefest" instead of
regular payment, some time during summer - meeting in real life,
working on the client until it looks the way I want it to look,
and the barbecue in the evening is on me. ;-) I happen to own a
nice outdoor location for that. ;-)<br>
<br>
For me, it would be very important that the changes I suggested
are accepted into the mainline code - I don't want to end up with
a fork (that could turn into a RPITA, maintenance-wise. Been
there, done that, got the t-shirt).<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Stefan<br>
