Not that I'm against the idea, but seeing the project has 3 members already and none of them were part of the gfx+sound+video projects AFAIK, I am wondering if this is the proper way to do it. What about /j #gentoo-media, discuss, join the current projects, get a few things done (there is a lot of choice there ;) ), maybe orphan unmaintained players/viewers, or check if they are maintained and hand them to a specific maintainer, and then see about merging or splitting all those projects *after* gaining experience and knowledge about the peculiarities of some of those packages ? Speaking about sound&video, I am under the impression that the library, or "codec" part, of those projects is far less lacking manpower than the "leaf" part (players, frontends, etc.).
