My priorities (in roughly decending priority):

 - bug fixes, particularly core bugs and bugs related to negotiation

 - a new autoplugger.  I'm having difficulty motivating for this.

 - go through every element in gst-plugins and go through the
   element checklist.

 - I would like to complete a preliminary version of liboil liboil-lite
   and get gst-plugins using it.  (liboil-lite would be a
   statically-linked, non-optimized version that would be added to
   the gst-plugins tarball for people that don't have liboil itself.)

 - some development work on swfdec, specifically bugfixes, navigation
   support, etc.

 - a new, real Mozilla plugin, not just gst-player plugged into a
   Mozilla window.

Obviously, this is way too much for the next 6 weeks.
