			=== Port VLC's NPAPI web plugin to PPAPI ===
			We need to support the PPAPI interfaces this summer to keep playback support within Google Chrome, since they will drop for the existing NPAPI architecture.

			Requires good C or/and C++ knowledge and a basic understanding of web browser internals. The ability to test on more than one platform would be a very strong plus.

			=== Let's get in touch ===
			We have 3 major communication channels at VideoLAN. Our [https://mailman.videolan.org/mailman/listinfo mailing-lists] to discuss patches and further development related topics. Furthermore, we have our [http://forum.videolan.org web forums] for end-user support. This means 2 things: 1) people using VLC media player on any operating system 2) people using libvlc or the VLC web plugin in their own applications or installations. Finally, there is our IRC channel ''#videolan'' on the ''Freenode'' network. It's open to any kind of discussion. Usage issues, questions how to compile VLC, getting to know the fellow developers, etc.

			== Getting started ==

			=== Compile VLC ===
			This may sound trivial, but it's harder than many expect. VLC's compilation chain is different for every operating system. It doesn't really use the default toolchains on Windows or OS X, but a simple *nix like ./configure && make doesn't really do the trick either. We have plenty of information available on this wiki and we will happily provide help on our IRC channel.
