Google Summer of Code 2008

I'm committed to work up to 40 hours per week for 3 months on this project. I have no plans for vacation this summer :(

March 31
figure out what needs to be done
- how to modify VLC to detect QTVRs
- what needs to change in VLC to display QTVRs
- figure out how to write codecs for VLC
  - User:dionoea mentioned that image handling modifications are required
get an understanding of the QTVR format (possible start: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/InsideQT_QTVR/6Chap/chapter_6_section_1.html and the FreePV code)
see how much of the FreePV code can be used
make a list of QTVR functionality in the order of importance to organize the implementation steps
think about turning FreePV into a library that can be used in VLC
by now I should have a good idea of how things fit together
write a bare-minimum OpenGL QTVR viewer for VLC
July 14
do some testing
get feedback
keep extending the basic functionality until time runs out
August 18
