Thomas Vander Stichele	b8ebf1b	2005-12-05 18:01:48 +0000	[diff] [blame]	11	The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
Thomas Vander Stichele	c320202	2005-09-06 14:05:50 +0000	[diff] [blame]	12	It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
				13	It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.

Thomas Vander Stichele	c320202	2005-09-06 14:05:50 +0000	[diff] [blame]	20	No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
				21	cover up the truth - these plug-ins are Bad with a capital B.
				22	They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
				23	at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
				24	to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
				25	showdown.
				26
				27
				28	Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
				29	patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
				30	steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
				31	kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
				32	You dig.
				33
				34
				35	This module contains a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the
				36	rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
				37	- be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
				38	maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
				39	upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
				40	depending on the other factors.
				41	If the plug-ins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
				42	problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
				43	New contributors can start here for things to work on.
				44
				45
				46	Other modules containing plug-ins are:
				47
				48
				49	gst-plugins-base
				50	contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
				51	gst-plugins-good
				52	contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
				53	gst-plugins-ugly
				54	contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
				55	distributors
