Plume's current status
The current status of Plume is working fine for what we need.
We work on it only when we have a contract to setup a system or when we have time.
Some features are planned though, like:- DONE [1] printer support on the client side (was indeed really easy to implement, but we had network printers most of the time anyway)
- sound support on the client side (should not be difficult to do with Esound, but needs time to find out how, and we don't need it because of the hardware currently used)
- DONE should be tested with GNOME 2.2 and KDE 3.1 (has already been tested on all GNOME versions through 2.8)
- hardware auto-detection (probably using discover or kudzu) at install time on the client
- experimenting with X-protocol compression (LBX) that was too processor and RAM-hungry on small PC
- translate into other languages (packaging currently available in English and French, while the programs the users see are already translated in many languages)
- implement or migrate to NoMachine NX
A more technical TODO is available here.
Please note it is possible to hire (cheap and knowledgable) people to add the features you need/want, or ask them politely to do so for free.
For the moment, you'll find everything in the CVS, including some documentation about the project at large in LyX format and documentation about the code itself.
