Hi Kenny, > Thanks for the opinions. I'm really appreciate that.

And I'm responsible for the first part. ok, this makes your point a bit clearer. But still, what is the sense of your part of the software to do with GM and what is your goal to modify? I mean, having a "Videoconferencing Part" could be achieved by "apt-get install gnomemeeting" given that you already have a working installation. What's the part of "Video conferencing part" having to do with "securiy monitoring" and how will they be linked? Are they both to be run on the same machine or are you planning satellite systems? What hardware needs to be supported? Are there any customers foreseen, that will have to operate a satellite system? Thanks for sheding some light on these background issues. ;) > As I'm inexperienced in modifying the source code, do you guys have any > suggestions on what should I start with?

Be it, that you might have GTK coding experience, you could just read the code of GM. Assuming that you have Un*x know-how you might want to start reading the devel-ml archive and assuming that you have no idea what GM is all about, you might want to read all ml-archives plus the bugzilla. =) -- Best regards, Kilian
