[Tommy Brunn <tommy.brunn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome everybody to the Quickshot mailing list. Since we're all pretty
much on opposite sides of the earth, I figured this would be a more
reliable mode of communication than to try to catch each other on IRC.

I wanted to talk about the current structure of the Quickshot
development team and the plans we have for the future of Quickshot.

The only information that we have written down about what we want
Quickshot to be and how it should work is horribly out of date and
frankly just not that relevant anymore. At least the technical
specification needs to be updated to reflect the current state of
things. I wouldn't mind doing it personally, but sadly I just don't know
the specifics of how everything is going to work. 

Therefore I would like someone to go ahead and write down the short
version of how stuff should work, and what things we still need to
figure out. 

Examples that come to my mind are:
- Server-client communication.
- Storing screenshot information on the server (things like whether or
not it should be a full screenshot or just a portion of the screen, what
applications should be running, etc.)
- Moderation of submitted screenshots.
- Listing needed screenshots.
- Level of screenshot automation (should we launch the needed
applications for the user? Should we change the language automatically?
Etc.)

There are more things I would like to touch on, like the structure of
the development team and the current development schedule, but as this
message is already getting kind of long, I'll save that for later.

Live long and prosper,
Tommy Brunn
