Interested to work in gstreamer

[prasannatsmkumar]

Hi Gstreamer Team,

I would like to contribute to gstreamer. I went through the tasks list and
would like to work on webp support. In
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/SocProjects it is mentioned that
"create a encoder and decoder for WebP image format" does this mean a
decoder and encoder has to be written from scratch or write a plugin which
uses libwebp library?

I would like to implement webp image plugin which uses libwebp to decode
and encode image. I am not much aware of gstreamer code but I am ready to
learn it. I can write C, C++ code and understand math so I think I will be
able to accomplish webp plugin support after reading documentation / plugin
tutorial and with help from the gstreamer community.

Is it feasible? Has anyone already started working on this?

About me:
I am PrasannaKumar, finished my Bachelor in Electronics and communication
engineering, currently a software engineer and a M.Sc Math student.

Thanks and Regards,
PrasannaKumar
