Gnash the pathway to better Flash on the web
,----[ Quote ]
| In the Free Software community there are so
| many differing opinions about everything.
| From why we should use this distro over
| another to whether we have to worry about the
| software running on our cable set top boxes.
| One thing I think that we all can agree on is
| that there is a problem with flash. If you
| use proprietary Adobe flash you have tons of
| issues. Everything from pages rendering
| strange and flickery playback to firefox
| crashing from adobe eating up so much system
| resources. If you use free flash you have a
| whole new set of issues from players not
| rendering quite right or just nor working, to
| skipping playback at times. Even with all
| these issues and problems I will present a
| case that if you choose to use flash in
| Gnu/Linux you should choose a free flash
| player namely Gnash.
|
| [...]
|
| Some people thing that any software is Okay.
| That you should just use the right tool for
| the job. With software it is more then just
| the tool that works today. We must also
| evaluate the potential of that tool tomorrow.
| Adobe has no real potential for us tomorrow
| other then continuing to annoy us. I hope I
| made a case that Gnash is a tool that has
| real use for us today an great potential for
| tomorrow if we put some energy into it. So
| please help support and fund this project use
| gnash and if you can Donate. I know I will.
