Hi all,

Right before the break we had a short one week sprint here to put
together the ability to export media from the system.  Capture agent
media isn't very user friendly, and we found a number of people (dept
admins and faculty themselves) were interested in exporting a given
lecture to put up outside of our systems.

To support this we added a new UI that allows an admin to give a
gstreamer command line which is then passed, along with a media
package, to a workflow handler.  The handler executes the command, and
the resultant media is distributed to a distribution service which
provides some restriction on who is able to download the files.  This
last bit is a little bit of a hack, but the distribution service isn't
meant to be long lasting, and instead is mean for quick export of files.

Our work was done in this branch:

https://opencast.jira.com/svn/MH/branches/MH-8395/

We're keen on adding a couple more features to this (notifications, for
one), and are looking for folks who are willing to do some reviewing of
and/or contributing to the work.  We would like it to be a workflow
that's packaged with 1.4 if possible.  Any takers?
