<P>Thomas has made a CRON script that greps out all the FIXME's in our code. We should try and sort of these and fix those that needs fixing. Click <A HREF="FIXME">here for FIXME doc</A></P>
<H3>Current plans</H3>
-<P>We currently plan on releasing a series of 0.4.x releases which aim at increasing stability, effectivity and portability in preparation for the 0.5.0 release which we aim at getting included as part of the GNOME 2.2 release. While we probably will add some new functionality during the 0.4.x release cycle it is not the main focus. Functionality extension will again be main focus in the 0.6.x series.
-
-<H2>GStreamer Core</H2>
-<P>Persons in Charge: Wim Taymans and Thomas Vander Stichele</P>
-<P>Pretty stable currently. Only minor API changes in recent months.
-</P>
-<P>
-Issues that needs resolving:
-<LI>Genereal code cleanups and bugfixes</LI>
-<LI>Caps-negotation fails to find matching caps it just continue trying infinitly.</LI>
-<LI>Plugin registry needs more work</LI>
-<LI>New Scheduler needs completion</LI>
-
-</P>
-<H2>Gst-Editor</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Andy Wingo (but soon gone to Africa)</P>
-<P>
-The editor seems to have been one of the great hits during thomasvs
-presentation at the Boston GNOME summit. First release is out.
-Almost all crasher bugs are gone, the known ones remaining are caused by
-bugs in some of the plugins.
-
-</P>
-<H2>Rhythmbox</h2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Jorn Baayen</P>
-<P>
-Stabilize the application in preparation for GNOME 2.2. Things are
-starting to look really good. this. Dennis Smit is working on adding visualtization support to RB.
-</P>
-
-<H2>Gst-player</h2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Steve Baker</P>
-<P>
-Working quite stably atm. Have both a stand-alone frontend and a nautilus view.
-<BR>Issues being worked on:
-<UL>
-<LI>add support for metadata to it.</LI>
-<LI>A playlist</LI>
-<LI>Better error handling when gstreamer fails to play a
-media file.</LI>
-<LI>Sort out when files get played by the view and when they get played by the standalone player</LI>
-<LI>Autoplay when songs feed from commandline/started by double-clicking on media files in Nautilus</LI>
-</UL>
-</P>
-
-
-<H2>Gst-rec</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Ronald Bultje</P>
-<P>
-Our video recording application. Ready for its first release after the updated v4l plugin with core changes gets integrated.
-
-</P>
-<H2>Mozilla plugin</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: David Schleef</P>
-<P>
-<BR>Issues currently being worked on:
-<LI>Give us a browser plugin that
-can do everything with embeded media that windows users are so used to.</LI>
-</P>
-
-<h2>Non-Linear Editor</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Wim Taymans</P>
-<P>
-Wim Taymans(wtay) is currently focusing his effort on the
-<A HREF="http://gnonlin.sf.net">gnonlin library</A>. Knowing Wim it will not be long before we have
-something for people to see here, but it will even with Wim at the helm
-still probably be some time before we have a
-fullfeatured editor availble.</P>
-
-
-<H2>Documentation</H2>
-<P>Persons in Charge: Everyone</P>
-<P>Getting our documentation even better is very important. We already have had developers joining the project due to the good ammount of documentation we have. The more complete and well written our docs are the more people will probably start using GStreamer. Everyone has a reponsibility here to help document pieces of GStreamer which documentation for currently are thin or non-existant. Cameron Hutchison and Thomas Vander Stichele have both recently worked on improving docs, but more the merrier.
-</P>
-
-<H1>Plugins</H1>
-<H2>Rtp plugin</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Thomas Vander Stichele</P>
-<P>
-Uses librtp and the library is currently stored in the plugin directory in CVS.
-Needs to be integrated into the build.
-<BR>Issues currently being worked on:
-<LI>Integrating into build.</LI>
-</P>
-
-<h2>Need for Mpeg Muxer</h2>
-<p>Person in Charge: David Schleef</P>
-<P>
-GStreamer currently needs a Mpeg muxer in order to enable encoding of mpeg video
-<BR>Issues currently beeing worked on:
-<LI>creating the muxer</LI>
-
-<H2>Professional Audio/ALSA/Jack</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Andy Wingo (but soon gone to Africa)</P>
-<P>
-The two main components here are well functioning support
-for both the <A HREF="http://www.alsa-project.org">ALSA sound</A> architecture and the <A HREF="http://jackit.sf.net">Jack audio server</A>. These mostly work now thanks to the great work of Wingo.
-<BR>Issues currently being worked on:
-<LI>100% CPU use by Alsa plugin</LI>
-
-<H2>Utility library for GNOME</H2>
-<P>
-In regards to the upcomming GNOME 2.2 release and how GStreamer will
-integrate there was some talk at the summit
-on the need for a small utility library for people just needing basic
-audio support for their application. monkey-media is a candidate here
-and Jorn have already made patches for the different components in
-GNOME2 to move then to using monkey-media. Some questions are raised to
-wether maybe monkey-media is overkill for the task, but for the time
-being it is what we have.
-</P>
+<P>We plan on releasing GStreamer 0.6.x as a stable series for GNOME 2.2. To make this happen we have some issues that need resolving.</P>
-<H2>KDE-interoperability</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Tim Jansen</P>
-<P>
-We are quite strong here now thanks to Tim Jansen(tjansen) who recently
-provided us with Qt/C++ bindings. Coupled with our longtime support for
-the arts soundserver I think we are getting to a point where we have a
-pretty good case.
-</P>
-
-<H1>Unresolved issues</H1>
-<h2>DVD playback</h2>
-<P>
-People are successfully playing back vob files from the DVD currently,
-but that does not qualify as having good DVD support. Hopefully David I.
-Lehn(taaz) and Billy Biggs(vektor)
-Â can be talked into starting on a real DVD player for GStreamer
-(probably basing it on the gst-player code?)
-</P>
-<H2>Media formats</h2>
-<P>
-Possible formats to support
-<UL>
-<LI>ASF</LI>
-<LI>WMF</LI>
-<LI>Real</LI>
-<LI>Others?</LI>
-</UL>
-</P>
-<P>
-Short term getting asf support is the most important task, and
-as David Schleef gets our browser plugin up and running maybe having
-wmf/real support will become more important if we want to transparantly
-support webradio etc.
-</P>
-<H2>Output plugins</H2>
-<P>
-We need native output plugins for the following platforms,
-with Sun and HP probably being the most important.
+<H2>GStreamer 0.6.0 showstoppers</H2>
<UL>
-<LI>Sun Solaris</LI>
-<LI>HP-UX</LI>
-<LI>IBM AIX</LI>
-<LI>FreeBSD</LI>
-<LI>True64 Unix</LI>
-<LI>Irix</LI>
-</UL>
-</P>
-
-<H2>MAS support</H2>
-<P>
-<A HREF="http://www.mediaapplicationserver.net">MAS</A> is for
-those who don't know it a crossplattform mediaserver, developed under the X.org banner.
-. The priority of this tasks depends a lot
-on wether the GNOME community and/or the important GNOME system
-integrators like Red Hat, Sun, Mandrake and Ximian plans on utilizing
-this soundserver anytime soon.
-</P>
-
-<H2>Midi Support</H2>
-<P>We have had some people interested in this, but no code has yet been forthcomming. This is still an important issue however. Hopefully we will be able to find someone with the skills and interest in doing this soon.
-</P>
-
-<H1>Other things</H1>
-<H2>License Audit</H2>
-<P>Person in Charge: Christian Schaller</P>
-<P>
-I have been trying to get many of the libraries we depend on relicensed
-from the GPL to the LGPL. Apart from the positive reponse from the
-Effectv people I have had little success so far. Problem has actually
-not been people saying no, but people being hard/impossible to reach
-with their email addresses just bouncing my mail.
-</P><P>
-One of the positive reponses I got a some time ago was from ffmpeg
-author Fabrice Bellard who where willing to let us use the libavcodec
-part under the LGPL. Question is if this is enough? If we want to use
-the ffmpeg code for avi and asf decoding/encoding I guess I need to ask
-if he would be willing to let us use that. Not that switching to ffmpeg
-for avi would give us a more restrictive license that avifile as avifile
-is also GPL.
-</P>
