First pass at adding Code-In 2011 ideas

New page

= Google Code In =

This page is about gathering '''ideas''' for the VideoLAN project for acceptance in the [http://code.google.com/opensource/gci/2011-12/index.html Google Code In 2011-2012] program.

VideoLAN has been part of [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google Summer of Code] in [[SoC_2007|2007]], [[SoC_2008|2008]], [[SoC_2009|2009]] and [[SoC_2010|2010]].

[[x264 GCodeIn Ideas|x264]] is also participating in Videolan's Code-In.

= Ideas for VideoLAN =

== Warning ==
This is a temporary page for listing ideas for Google Code-in tasks.

The final tasks will be moved to melange, when needed.

== libav ==

'''Tools''': 
'''Time''': 
'''Mentor''': 

=== Create a new preset ===

'''Outcome''': Create a new preset that gets accepted into libav 
'''Difficulty''': 
'''Tools''': 
'''Time''': 
'''Mentor''': 

=== Practical examples on capturing from devices ===
'''Category''': Documentation

'''Difficulty''': 
'''Tools''': 
'''Time''': 
'''Mentor''': 

=== Document metadata tags and their usage ===

'''Difficulty''': 
'''Tools''': 
'''Time''': 
'''Mentor''': 

=== Fuzzing existing crashers ===
'''Category''': Quality Assurance 
'''Description''': A wide range of projects use libav, and some of them maintain bugtrackers or forums which contain records of crashing files 
It would be nice to know if those files still crash libav, and if fuzzing them creates a new crash
