First i suggest s#jan/july#1st Jan & 1st July# Second i suggest to pick a time too, like 0:00 UTC Third, for future votes i suggest to lengthen the period of proposing of additional possibilities. Here we all maybe have seen this already but. If this was new than 2-3 days really is too short. That period needs to include discussion and thinking for a person who might be working 8 hour a day on something unrelated to FFmpeg. There may be more but thats what comes to my mind ATM thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB it is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world. -- Aristotle
