			== Scripting VLC with wasm ==
			'''Project Description''':
			We're would like to try to replace the lua scripting support of VLC with Wasm, like wasmer, directly inside VLC.

			This requires working close to the toolchain, VLC and understanding C.

			'''Scope of the tasks to do''':

			There are lots of things to do:
			* Study Wasm
			* Embed wasm inside VLC
			* Map VLC Scripts
			* Improve emscripten and wasm:)

			'''Requirements''':
			This project requires '''C''' knowledge, and compilation.
