This year is the sixth year we have participated in the GSoC.
We had four student projects started and all were successful. You may be interested in the products of these projects.

The current implementation has two audio recorders (Flash and Java) and one video recorder (Flash). Administrators have the ability to enable/disable any recorder. The repository can auto-detect and show most complaint recorder for the user's browser.
