About the application.

Has anybody tested out on other platforms QuteCom (previusly known as OpenWengo)?  It seems to support video but I haven't try it out. As far as I know OpenWengo needed QT4 to be ported first, not sure if QuteCom is also on the QT4 path (possible yes). But since there is some work done with the QT4 ports, possible QuteCom can be the more closed to be ported to eCS-OS2

By the way, tere is an ongoing bounty for OpenWengo (QuteCom). If you want to read the forum thread.

yes Qutecom is also using Qt4. we consider to port that, as i wrote in the openwengo thread.

but to be honest if we also include a webcam is not known at this point.

Hi Diver, sure , it is not time to talk about the webcam support for it as a short term project, but it is possibility for the future.

On the one hand:

Eugene Gorbunoff  told  of
Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro + compatible as supported webcams.

Win Brun uses sonix usb cameras: http://home.hccnet.nl/w.m.brul/sonixcam
see also hobbes

on the other hand:

Mercury and other apps (usb cam compatible) are working  (but without cam)

QuteCom is not so far

It may be other qt4 communication apps exist

Anybody is able to  prepare an os/2 communication application (Messenger-like) using few listed webcams? 

If it is so hard we will wait and see. If it is not too difficult somebody may give notice of  his effort. In that case we can ask the similar-bounty-sponsors to re-address their aims (our site master must have the mail-address they used to subscribe). Moreover we may launch a dedicated and defined bounty, if useful. In any case we have to rely on programmers-friends' os/2-sake.

ps. Sometime we forgot the "end user in the street".  When you present somebody our os/2-ecs the questions to begin with are: writing? yes, browsing? yes, e-mail? yes, multimediaplaying? yes burning cd-rom and dvd? yes usb storage? yes, java? sufficiently, flash? it's forthcoming in very next days, webcam and voice internet communicating? no

This is the lack which stops conversation! and it avoids a larger spreading of os/2 test and use by potentially interested people.
