I have an idea,

Lets create a web page outlining current multimedia projects.

It does not have to be  anything fancy and I think it may help 
not just the current mpeg project but other multimedia tools.

If no one steps in , I will create such a web page -- hint I am looking
for a volunteer 8)

The list is fine to brain storm ideas . I just don't want others at a later
time to  miss the "brain storm" 8)

	Tnks,
	Amancio
