Dear friends, 6 developers working at <a href="http://seeta.in" target="_blank">SEETA</a> will be spearheading the design and development of video chat, video editing and VOIP activities in Sugar starting Feb. 15. We have been trying to arrive at a decision on the approach to be followed - designing the application and writing the code from ground zero vs. porting an existing open source application to Sugar. We have been examining a number of open source applications, and believe that it will be easier to port the following applications to Sugar than reinventing the wheel - 1. Video Chat - Pidgin (<a href="http://www.pidgin.im/" target="_blank">http://www.pidgin.im/</a>) 2. Video Editor - PiTiVi (<a href="http://www.pitivi.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pitivi.org/</a>) 3. VOIP activity - Shtoom (<a href="http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/ShtoomProject" target="_blank">http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/ShtoomProject</a>) Wish to have your feedback on issues, implementation strategies and external dependencies that we might have overlooked. Regards, Manu
