Vladest

Since February 2004 netlabs.org is hiring vladest as full time developer. Vladest is the main guy behind Warpvision (GUI Version) and the open sourced version of Innotek UNIAUD.

For sure this costs money, so far it is basicaly my personal money which goes to Vladest. There are some usergroups who promised me sponsoring and I also get some money from individuals. This page here is mainly thought for people who are curious what happens with their money and for sure it should also attract you and other people & usergroups to support netlabs.org <- yes this link takes you to the Mensys page where you can buy sponsoring units :-)

As usual I will keep no money for myself, I have a good salary and I do not want to make profit out of netlabs.org. All money we get is invested into our open source projects and our hired developers, from time to time also into hardware for the servers.

Thanks

Adrian Gschwend Founder of netlabs.org

General

 * Updated source in CVS!
 * Document work progress
 * Keep the website up to date (Webcam & TV Support is not mentioned at the moment), add news on a regular base
 * Post new releases of both UNIAUD & WVGUI to the mailinglists
 * Bugs in Bugtracker (Ktk has to do them first :)

High priority

 * 1) Full embedded plugin support for Mozilla Firefox (including streaming), like mplayer-plugin
 * 2) DVD Menu support
 * 3) Enhanced Webcam integration (GUI, dialogs...)
 * 4) Recording of TV picture to disk

Low priority/ongoing

 * 1) Bug fixing etc.
 * 2) Always fresh libavcodec.

High priority

 * 1) Creating PM aggressive mixer
 * 2) Adding new sound API (alsa-lib like) based only on 32 bit driver. So software which uses this API won't require PM/MMOS2. Alsa-lib like interface will simplify porting audio applications from Linux. This basically means that we have to port JACK
 * 3) Add bldlevel information to UNIAUD

Low priority/ongoing

 * 1) Adding multichannel support
 * 2) Adding software mixing of PCM streams (will be available only for own API)
 * 3) Multicards support
 * 4) Standalone AC3->PCM decoding project with SPDIF IN support (i.e. software AC3 decoder)
