Could you send the site admin (or me: vikram(at)helixcommunity.org) an email as to when and how this happened so we can look into it and see what might be wrong?
It's unfair to say Real hasn't committed resources or open sourced things of value. The technology and the source code that is available today is the product of years of hardwork. Further, there IS a Linux Player team at Real. We (this team) is as passionate as you are about creating a media player that is of good value to the community - and todays announcement was our way of asking you to come participate in the process. It's not just our giving away freebies that wins the minds and hearts of a community - that's been already tried in the dotcom times. I hope the fervor shown in pointing out all that Real is yet to do can translate into participation and contribution to this fledgling project so that it would be a glowing example that the corporate folks would sit up and notice. -V ----------- Vikram Dendi Program Manager for Helix Player RealNetworks
