[Ekiga-devel-list] GSoC co-mentors for theora codec support

[Ralph Giles <giles xiph org>]

Hi all,

We have a student who wants to add support for the royalty-free theora 
video codec to ekiga as a Google Summer of Code project. We can act as
primary mentors for this, based on general free software experience, and 
of course specific knowledge about the the codec and its implementation, 
but we fear the student won't get far without some help from someone who 
understands the ekiga code, and can offer support for getting the 
implementation accepted upstream.

Are any of the ekiga developers interested in acting as a co-mentor (or 
primary mentor) for this project? What's your general opinion on the
project idea?
