Which does not mean, that Klaus is not doing some hefty editing on the 
stuff before including it  ;-)

Anyway, even with a "distributed development" there has to be somebody 
coordinating the releases and generaly ensuring the overall quality.
Klaus is doing a very good job on that!

The one thing i would wish for, is a central CVS, where each major 
subproject (MP3, DVD) could have his own branch. This would make it much 
simple to synchronize the seperate development versions. Currently, it 
is close to a nightmare for the non-development user to have vdr running 
with all the different patches applied.

Just my 10cent ...
