To all,
I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Simon on his efforts
and wish him all the best with h323plus. His decision is the best kind
of opportunity that Open Source development provides, and I look forward
to ensuring that both projects can work together as much as possible.
Specifically, there is no reason why we should need to maintain two
separate PTLib libraries. We're going to keep PTLib as a separate
library - I'm hoping that h323plus will use the opalvoip version rather
than decide to maintain their own.
In any case, here's looking forward to a new era in Open Source VoIP!
