skype still has the best echo cancellation (that i've tried). you don't even need to wear headphones. according to a Tox developer: there aren't any comparable open source libraries.
i'd say it depends on how important a project you are working on. if it's another run of the mill CRUD app, that only get's used internally by a few people, then you'd want cheap/fast, low quality. if it's mission critical, air plane software, you take your time and get it right.
but the author is hinting in the right direction: today "slow" get's undervalued. i've been told i work slow, and yea it had a negative meaning. i interpret it as good: i take my time and do it right. maybe i was just working in the wrong company, where the software quality isn't that important versus churning out more.
hi, this project looks really neat! i'm evaluating icinga web + pnp4nagios at work, but this could be a viable alternative. cheers and glad you put this out there :-)
i see that you use Protocol Buffers. from google's page, it seems like they only work with C++, Java or Python. now this could be a problem for us. what if i want to pull events from a bash script, a delphi gui app, SNMP, Dell idrac interface, or any other event? do they have to interface over Protocol Buffers, or am i missing something here? would i have to write a glue layer?
and what about, if you have two seperate networks, and want one server to forward data for its entire lan to the other server, to process and graph them?
