This is a page to discuss possible project ideas for the Google Summer of Code 2008 season, just in case Google decides to host it and accept FFmpeg as a project again.
Current Status
- February 20, 2008: Created page
Application Process
The student application process for 2008 will be as rigorous, if not more so, than in 2007.
