Freeseer web client

[fosslc]

We have a very good recording client. It is likely in the next months it will be available easily on Windows, Linux, MacOS/BSD. It does a great job recording, and streaming support should be strong too.

It will soon be time to work on developing a web client. The web client should allow the following features:

• LDAP or database based authentication
• watching recorded videos (use the HTML video tag)
• watching live streams (live streams supported in Freeseer 2.5.0 and on)
• post recording video editing to add cut points at the start, end, and middle of the video
• live chat - with timestamped comments so we can caption the videos automatically after.
• VoIP support for asking questions see issue #77
• shared notepad (http://etherpad.org/)
• shared whiteboard

An obvious candidate for re-use and partnering is Matterhorn. See #109

Any update on this brilliant idea? This is what I have been brainstorming on in the last three days. But I have got a slightly different idea. It's basically the ability to view live recording via a web browser. It will be useful for audience in one room at a conference wanting to keep abreast with what's happening in the other room.

[Adding Michael's comment that was posted on the mailing list for reference purposes]

We could give it a shot here; we're thinking of a nodejs app using web socket to interact with the Freeseer desktop client. A python app, and probably using django, would also do the job.

We only want a web page that shows all current recordings. It will be useful for audience in one room at a conference wanting to keep abreast with what's happening in the other room(s).

Integrating VOIP is also a cool idea; and we think using nodejs might be a good approach. We would be able to easily leverage webrtc.io, SIPML5, e.t.c.
