Cheese and Eikiga: The second Look

Last week, I was given an assignment to find out info about cheese an Ekiga. Upon which Mel from TOS looked at the classes submissions and wrote about them in her blog. I learned that it is easier to learn about projects from more experienced users. During the assignment , I was looking at the main pages for both projects to find information on both of them, but found after reading Mel's blog that the info I found was highly misinformed or the information I found I misinterpreted compared to the actual information. Ekiga looked still developing because of the more frequent updates, while cheese looked finished as it was updating less, but I missed that Eikga has been in the works for the past 10 years. My research abilities on finding information about OSS is very bad and needs to be improved. Also consistency between the class and different interpretations on readins also needs to be improved as the data found also contradicts each other, though according to Mel, both statements could be correct. I'm guessing it is a lack on knowledge on the correct place to look for information. Getting inside the circle and used to how everything works will be a daunting task.
