Hi Marc, > Thanks for the generous offer, I'm sure Kilian will find somebody to do > the initial work.

With VServer i thought of something like www.linux-vserver.org where you can have a full root access with restricted machine access. So that way you cannot harm the host system by still having full root powers to do packages administration needed for packaging. Yet Damien reckoned that for initial work to be done, someone needs to have a MOSX machine right in front of him instead of getting only ssh access (whatever powerful it may be). So if there's a willing and capable quicktime coder for MOSX, maybe the code of OhPhoneX can be transferred into a working pwlib-plugin that will do the video input like the BSD video, or the V4L/AVC/DC plugins for Linux. Julien might be able to give you a helping hand with the plugins system, in case you need further assistance in getting the plugin api wrapped around the mosx quicktime functions of ohpohnex. However after the initial setup is done, a buildshell would be nice to get some frequently requested packaging going. If that shell can be perm and full root, then we might even include it into the buildd process of automagic cvs packaing. Thus whoever has some reasonable new yet unneeded (building should be faster than some 10 hours for pwlib,openh323,gnomemeeting) hardware of non-i386 (not only ppc, but also others, like alpha, sparc, arm, mips, mipsel etc.) to support this project, please contact me. -- Best regards, Kilian
