hello dude,

Thanks! But I'm also late...

> Mmm hope so. Specially if RMS is one of them ;)
Well, you know RMS is not browsing the web. The web comes to RMS!
Sometimes he fetches a webpage with wget, but that's it. :)

Com'on, english is not a language anymore, it's just a way to pass on
messages, slogans, ads!

Mmhh... Kune exists, doesn't it? So you don't need to convince anyone
it "deserves" it. As for the need, users define it, not you. I think
you should better think in these terms : What is our tool? Who are our
users? The trick is that, at the end of the film, *I* will be convinced
that *I* am a potential user... it's just a matter of perspective, it's
a bit communication bullshit but hey, that's what we're talking about...

Yes... maybe that's just a FAQ point, not something to show in a video,
that's right.
> Is it not clear

Something popping up in my mind: what about Kune's modularity? The
presentation shows Kune can aggregate/integrate a lot of tools, but
developers like modularity (don't they)?

Possible extension of the Chat utility: make it a tool to take notes
during a meeting. Something where someone can define topics, where
the logs can be exported in .odt (with user-defined sequences, maybe
corresponding to the topics...) -- I don't have a precise idea of what
I am talking about, but I'm sure there is something to do.

The technical reasons are okay, people will pause on the video to read
them.

modularity!

Yes. Which becomes a rare sign of independance!

« We need a free software to support social freedom and activism. » Or
something like that. Then show RMS that there are too many proprietary
tools to support social activism (like Facebook?), and to few tools like
yours... which I think is THE point.
I will during this week.
