Heya,

Toni has been away for quite a while now, hopefully nothing bad
happened to him.

GNOME's Videos application (né Totem) uses libquvi to support playing
videos back from website. It's also used to provide "external URL" to
"one-time video URL" support in grilo, the media discovery framework of
GNOME.

grilo, since last year, has a Lua API allowing you to create plugins to
browse and search for media, and add metadata to media. You can see a
number of those plugins here:
https://github.com/grilofw/grilo-lua-sources/tree/master/grilo
and here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/grilo-plugins/tree/src/lua-factory/sources

Given grilo's attachment to Lua, and the fact that quvi is the only
framework of this kind that uses it, I'd like to keep it alive.

To that effect, I forked Toni's original repositories, libquvi, libquvi
-scripts and quvi-tool into the "grilofw" org on GitHub:
https://github.com/grilofw

And we now accept pull requests for bug fixes and new scripts.

I will also put in place a contributing file to explain what's
necessary for Pull Requests to be merged. I will usually take a very
hands off approach to merging now code though.

In the near future, I expect to:
- merge bug fixes that showed up on the mailing-list in the past year
or so
- merge the new sources from:
https://github.com/grilofw/grilo-lua-sources/tree/master/quvi
- Revert b79b4677f910d101f8f392fb1ec2618ddb4c38da in libquvi
- Make it easier to contribute and run new tests
- Remove or fix the crypto code

So if you want to help out, send in your Pull Requests!

Cheers
