[Building Sakai] Your experience with the samigo audio recorder

[Matthew Jones]

I haven't personally had these specific problems reported to me.

I filed a ticket a few weeks ago for some ideas of replacing this java
applet with html5 or flash with some possible suggestions, though I haven't
done any of the work to actually do it. This really seems like what
you'd/we'd want to move toward but it would take a decent amount of
development time.

It *looks* like the HTML5 version is still experimental but eventually that
will also be the way to go, some method where audio can be recorded locally
and an audio file can be POSTed to the server.
