Key ideas for VLMC

	This probably requires a good C++ knowledge, as both libvlcpp & medialibrary make a heavy use of C++11 & templates meta-programming.		This probably requires a good C++ knowledge, as both libvlcpp & medialibrary make a heavy use of C++11 & templates meta-programming.

			=== Import/Save to/from cloud services ===

			It would be a great addition to VLMC to be able to import some medias from a cloud service, and being able to export the result to another.

			Since there are so many different cloud providers, we would like to have a "libcloudstorage" that would handle all the boilerplate out of VLMC's source code.

			This lib can then easily be used to allow the user to use multiple service.

			The cherry on the top would be to integrate this lib cloud storage into the medialibrary project, in order to automatically discover & analyze media stored on the cloud.

			''Proposed mentor: jb, chouquette''

			=== Remote UI ===

			We would like to have a way to use VLMC from a web browser. You can easily imagine having a nice, shiny & simple UI for minimal movie edition, which would go hand in hand with the cloud storage feature.

			This task aims toward the uncoupling of the rendering backend & UI, as the renderer will run server side, while the UI runs on the client side.

			The idea is to be able to have a UI interacting with the renderer without having to be in the same process, or even machine.

			''Proposed mentor: jb, chouquette, fkuehne''

			=== Unit tests ===

			VLMC is not tested.

			Well, it is, but manually, which is not good enough. There are many race conditions, crash, deadlocks yet to be discovered.

			The UI also has some fairly funky behavior when being stressed out, and that needs to be tested as well.

			This task is about writing a unit test suite for both the renderers & the UI. Most likely, this will mean adding some mocking machinery, and therefor hiding all our classes behind an API.

			This task is definitely a requirement before we are able to clean & modernize the code base!

	~~=== XML fast and small implementation ===~~

	The goal of this project is to write a new XML backend, based on a smaller library than the full libxml2. Speed would be nice, but code size matters here. Beware: we need to have a stream-XML based API, not a DOM one.
