Those "idiot wannabe coders," as you call them, are simply not interested in low-level C/ASM media processing libraries. They use Playskool Plastic Tool Kit to develop web applications in javascript. Seriously, I think elitism and gatekeeping are not the right approach. Judging someone's contribution quality based on whether they use gmail or other "non-approved" tools is unfair. It saddens me that this kind of attitude comes from a senior member of the community with so much experience in the project. The whole point is to attract new contributors and make the workflow easier for everyone to improve productivity. If you care about quality, go review the patches. - Kacper _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
