RE: [GnomeMeeting-list] basic questions....

["bruce" <bedouglas earthlink net>]

Damien,

Thanks for the input!

To ask a really basic question.... and for clarity...

Gnome Meeting performs a similar function to Microsoft's NetMeeting. In
order to run a complete conferencing type system, a user will have to have
the server (OpenMCU) as well as the client app (GnomeMeeting).. is this a
correect understanding...

Thanks...

-Bruce

PS. To your knowledge is anyone looking/thinking about creating the kind of
application that I have previously described...

Damien,

Thanks for the response. We checked the archive.. we saw your initial
response to out 1st quesry... We didn't see a response to the 2nd query..
Should we take this to mean, 1) You already felt the answer was sufficiently
addressed in the 1st response, 2) There is a response, we just can't find
it... or 3) Ooops.. You didn't realize we had asked a few more issues..

Baically, we're curious to know if it would be possible/has been done/etc...
to use GnomeMeeting as a part of a complete/comprehensive WebConferencing
application where users are able to access
scheduling/conferencing/collaboration/etc... And have the ability to do
multiple user/multiple conferencing for different projects...

Thanks

-Bruce
