Unfortunately, none of these options are particularly good.. I've been involved in this project since 2010 and it seems it's been plagued with an inability to deal with conflict even before that. I'd say it's almost endemic to the FLOSS movement due to a combination of strong egos, poor social skills, text being an awful way to express nuance, sexism and a whole bunch of other crap. When it comes to FFmpeg specifically, the tendency to hold votes rather than seek consensus has been a problem since at least the day Libav forked off. I know from being involved in non-profits that you typically don't want things to escalate to there having to be a vote, since that tends to leave the losing side bitter. I'm leaning toward 2, but there would need to be some other way to deal with people not getting along. Maybe Mumble conferences where the involved parties get to air their feelings on whatever is at issue? I dunno End stream of thought /Tomas _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
