I hold no ill will against anyone, as long as no ill will is held against me. I do, however, think it was pretty dishonest of some people to push this forward as a GSOC project when there was internal dissent for it (on IRC, on the ffmpeg-mentor list, etc.). This is of course not your problem, nor should it be. We're here now, so we should make the best of it. > My point is that ongoing fights like this are counterproductive and only > discourage people from contributing into open source.

The crux of the issue here is that there is disagreement on whether some features should be in libav* at all. It's separation of functionality. It's not really possible to show something satisfactory when it's the wrong place for it in the first place, in someone's mind. I speak for myself here, only, of course. Take it with a grain of salt. As far as I see this situation, the damage is done already (it's in libav*), so we may as well make it (the API) as decent as possible. (P.S. I wouldn't use the word fork here, people get angsty :P) - Derek _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
