[gst-devel] GStreamer embedded mailing list proposal

[Manish Rana]

Dear All ,
  It will be really nice to have a Gstreamer mailing thread for Embedded, as
there are some problem that are faced only when you try it on some E-Device.
Also it will give more focused ideas to make Gstreamer better for and
Embedded device.
