[gst-devel] GStreamer as Google Summer of Code project

[Stefan Kost]

hi,

+1 for this suggestion. Maybe also writing the config for vcdimager
would be nice. This way the video would be ready to be burned on CD/DVD.

Regarding the fx. Pitivi needs/wants more video-fx anyway. Maybe having
more app kicks off making people writing fx-elements.
