Agreed. All I am suggesting is to add "Debugging existing stuff" as one of the items in the to-do list as it was not. All kind of patches are welcome :) And no matter if it is new feature or a bug, the quality of patch will speak for itself. >Yeah, but then, just that does not make OGV a GSoC worthy project.

Whether you want to add new features or you want to improve the existing code, understanding existing code is important. Having said that, in my humble opinion, there's huge (GSoC worthy) scope in improving the existing code and polishing / adding more options to existing features. -- Inderpreet Singh Ekoankar Sahai ishwerdas.com facebook.com/okayinder https://kippt.com/okayinder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
