Hi Everyone, I agree with Rubén Martin. IMHO is very, very, very sad that MozillaLabs team has chosen Windows and OSX as the initial supported platform, putting Linux support on the queue.

Did you even read the post you just replied to? Linux WebRT support is ongoing.

Alex, Thanks for the heads-up. Of course I read it.

I think is a very bad

signal either for the Market and for our volunteers. I hope this decision will be revisited. If the problem is related with resources or budget for the project, I'm sure the organization can do an extra effort to correct this decission.

Has it occurred to you that it's possible that Mozilla actually can't do this? Has it occurred to you that Mozilla is possibly already in overdrive what with Rapid Release, B2G, launching the *beta* of the Marketplace, and other things?

Beside ironies, I'm sure there are powerful reasons to take this decision. My point, and seems the concerns of other people who wrote also through this tread, is the impact this on the media and users.

That's a valid concern, and one that I hadn't thought of. I apologize.

Mozilla doesn't have infinite resources.

Nobody has said that.

Think of it this way: there would be a certain amount of time before WebRT was on Linux. Mozilla could choose to launch it then, or it could launch it earlier and get valuable feedback. There's no reason to deny Windows and OS X users the ability to test it, and there's strong advantages in that Mozilla can get feedback earlier and stay on track for the Kilimanjaro event.

Nobody is denying the rights of those users.

My point was that holding this back just for Linux support would be denying the rights of Windows and OS X users to test this.

The only point here is a

question and a strong suggestion of community members. We're allow to disagree and communicate it in a proper way.
