Looks mostly good to me. One thing I think that should be clarified is the meaning of "linear combination" - I assume you meant a non-trivial (exclude all zeros) linear combination over the nonnegative integers? As you rightly point out; any criterion can be gamed. However, I still think it is important to be precise about the criterion. > >> I strongly think that we will able to reach unanimous consensus about the >> members of the second stage list, and clear consensus about the decision >> rules.

Just to add to this: I think it is important for all of us to remember that almost everyone here wants to improve something/get something fixed, and AFAIK we don't have trolls who would derail the project. Sure; some methods of achieving the respective goals might be bad, but there could be a variety of benign reasons for this such as ignorance of some finer aspects. > > Regards, > > -- > Nicolas George > > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-devel mailing list > ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel > _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
