Some questions

[David]

I am trying to understand some more about gnucomm.

I was wondering if I could ask some questions. I have read most of the 
information that I can find and would like to clarify a few things.

Your http://www.gnu.org/software/gnucomm/overview.html document indicates 
that you will have a gatekeeper. Have you approached openH323 with respect to 
either re-licensing or even dual licensing their Open H323 software? Would 
this in fact help? I would have thought it would provide not only a basic 
protocol stack but a number of other associated programs covering both 
protocol monitoring and end point clients.

On the topics of Service activation and service assurance does the GNUe 
initiative have applications or structures here that will be used or are you 
looking at something new? You mention that the configuration should be simply 
to the end user and that low end computing power should not be a barrier to 
entry but i was wondering how you were going to build scalability. 
Configuring new services and then monitoring one machine to see that it is 
performing correctly but what about 300 machines all with different versions 
of software and different prompts. Is there any planned mechanism to manage a 
very large and diverse network? 

I trust these questions are not bothersome but I am somewhat looking for 
answers. I checked out the source tree but I am not a programmer so I was 
looking for documentation of which I didn't find alot and wasn't able to 
understand the source tree all that well.

Thankyou for any help you can give me.

Best Regards,

David Price
