[Matroska-devel] Perspective

[Steve Lhomme]

Hi everyone,

After a long pause (even though work still continued) I think it's time 
to start working hard again on our Matroska baby.

We all have been away mostly for RL issues and it seems that it's not 
going to change soon. I personally think I will have more and more spare 
time to work on my projects, but you never know how life is going to 
be... And I really think there are lots of things to be done. A lot of 
things that I need in my everyday (multimedia) life and I assume it 
would be the same for many other people. Unfortunately I can't do all 
these things on my own in a limited time (and we all like to be the 
first in our area, don't we). So we need to get (better) organised to 
have things actually done, to keep things moving.

As we are not a company and can't/won't force anyone to work I think 
it's better to let everyone work on the things they prefer/need. I 
wouldn't like to be told what I should do/enjoy... So my idea is to put 
up a list of all the possible things that we should do and then people 
(devs or webmasters) can pick things they want to work on and start 
working on it. I think it's also good to put an estimation of the time 
each task will take and the complexity with a note between 1 and 5 for 
each, not actual times: 1 for easy/fast, 5 for complex/long. This way 
anyone can know if he/she will have enough time/knowledge to work on 
something.

The basis of this list will be there :

http://wiki.corecodec.org/wiki/TODO_list_-_Known_issues_-_Things_to_improve

I'm currently adding possible evolutions/ideas and where they should 
apply. Then we can add the time/complexity estimation.

Any idea / suggestion / agreement / disagreement ?
