[Red5] Red5 Digest, Vol 20, Issue 81

John

Thank you kindly for that informative repsonse! It really helps...I  
have a small team building a Red5 app right now - and were gambling  
on it being able to do the task because the app will grow bigger in  
the future and FMS costs too much....and I think that red5s eventual  
path will match or surpass what Adobe has to offer - and open source  
will attract a larger army of developers to help each other.

I should have something to show you guys soon - I know you all like  
seeing what red5 is doing - and actually - we may need your helps  
here and there.  I look forward to communicating with you all - and  
tossing in my hands to help out here too.  Hats off to open source!

regards,

Tj
