RFS: screenkey - utility to display pressed keys in screencasts/presentations

[Eshat Cakar]

I'd like to remind, that I am still looking for someone co-maintaning or even 
uploading this little tool. Thanks to advises from Alessandro Ghedini it is in 
even better shape.

Hi everybody,

I am happy to become a memeber of the multimedia team and help in getting 
debian a little bit better when it comes to multimedia stuff. I just began 
packaging (mainly KDE stuff) a few month ago, so am not too experienced.

Please find attached the RFS mail that went to the mentors ML a while ago for 
the package screenkey.
The new git repository is now:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/screenkey.git;a=summary
A rebuild package is at mentors.d.n (see link below).
Since two attempts on the mentors ML where not successful, I hope to have more 
luck in maintaining this package together with the multimedia team.

Best regards

Eshat

Dear Debian Developers,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "screenkey".
It is a screencasting tool to display the pressed keys in a very nice 
configurable banner on the screen.
You can see it in action, in this video http://youtu.be/aLtIvEiDD2k?t=2m1s 

I just found one other tool in the debian repositories (can't remember the 
name), 
but it differs from screenkey in the way, that it just displays Ctrl,Shift 
and mouse clicks. Screenkey looks much more modern and displays all pressed 
Keys, so that combinations like "Alt+F2 chromium ⏎" are displayed
Since multimedia support in debian has improved a lot in the last 
months (due to supporting encoding of codec formats like H264, VP8 and MP3) 
I think it is now time to create howtos and tutorials in form of screencast. 
Screenkey can improve the quality of these videos, which are then a good way 
to 
promote for debian.

This is my second attempt in finding a sponsor on the mendors ml. I already 
put much time and work 
in packaging (I am still happy if someone sees ways to improve it, though), so 
hope that a DD will upload it for me.
