I'm in a thinking mood, so I'm going to throw out something that I've been wondering about for a while...

I realize we can "check in" new plugins etc. to the CVS, and submit them to heroines, but it seems to be somewhat redundant to develop plugins and include them in the actual "releases" -- not that I'm against that in any way, but it's a bit against the point. Reason I'm bringing this up: I'm working on a library that implement a video defect restoration (drop-out detection and reconstruction) and a denoising algorithm (an adaptive algorithm using VMF/ANNF/some other one) (I intend to add more filtering algorithms) from IEEE journals or similar articles to help restore some drop-outs due to a bad recording deck from a recording of an event I did. I'd like to release the libraries, but with the build including a plugin for cinelerra.

So, has anyone started a repository/listing of "non-release" plugins already? If so, where, and how's it going? If not, does anyone think this is a worthwhile idea? I'd like some other input on this; I haven't exactly written any plugins for Cinelerra before, so could it be in fact harder and more painful? What are the pros/cons anyone sees?

Also, completely unrelated: are algorithms released in journals (like IEEE Video Processing) in the public domain (i.e. I can code the algorithm and release the code without requesting permissions or obtaining rights from the authors)? I seem to recall this, however, I want to be certain. Of course, I reference the articles the algorithms come from, I just want to honor anything I have to legally.

Thanks,

Richard
