[FreeNX-kNX] Sponsoring FreeNX/QtNX?

[Marcelo Boveto Shima]

Hi,

Who are doing the development right now are the packages managers.
 - Altlinux (Boris):
http://git.altlinux.org/people/boris/packages/?p=freenx-server.git
 - Ubuntu (me):
https://code.launchpad.net/~freenx-team/freenx-server/teambzr

But working on FreeNX is a dead-end and it is becoming too hackish.
So, like I said in another email, I started another NX Server some time ago.

It is written in python, uses dbus (you can manipulate the sessions using
dbus service),
a legacy-free client is available (eagleeye, doesn't uses the nx user). You
can
mix the eagleeye client with nxclient (resume on eagleeye a session started
by
nxclient).

What doesn't work?
Printer and folder sharing (almost ready), load-balancing.

I took a look at x2go some time ago and it seems it is not well designed
too.
And it don't provides nxclient compatibilty.

About the funding:
Maybe you can pay directly to a developer or maybe a reward for defined
goals.

Regards,
Shima.
