Leaving apart the technical details about the implementation, this should be feasible within the SPI framework (although this would involve some paperwork and delays due to that). It would be useful at this point to define the process to accept the proposal and potential candidates. We have a technical committee which might take the lead on that and probably have the last word on it, since "approved by the community" is a bit vague and there is the risk that there will be never an approval "from the community" because of diverging views, or that we get stuck at the design level. As a start, probably there should be a design doc somewhere, discussed by the community and finally approved (by the technical committee??) before we present the request and candidate to SPI. In fact probably the design doc is the first thing a candidate might need to work on. Also I'd avoid terms such as "rewrite" or "cleanup" since they have bad connotations, maybe let's call it "review" or "refinement". _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
