What about a roadmap? defining the features of a V1.0 and the releasing
that V1.0 when all the features are met.

That would help developers concentrate on some things...

For example, if the requirements for number of codecs are met, just
release the version 1.0 and start pushing developers to change the API
to libvo2.

I have heard so many times since I am subscribed about that libvo2 
but never seen any progress. On the other hand, I have seen many impro-
vements done by you related with xanim codecs, and so on. And that 
eventhough you say that you don't have time... ;)

Don't take these critics as negative ones, please, but just as a comment
trying to help to improve mplayer developement.
