I'd like to reiterate my support of doing this survey document and sign up to do the section on DirectX (DirectShow). I'd also like to suggest another idea to jump-start this group. Since February we've been working through an agenda of talking points, with the idea being (at least in my mind) that each point would represent a section or paragraph in the final requirements document. So in a sense today we already have the "table of contents", but none of the guts have been agreed on yet. Rather than moving through the points one by one way, and writing the doc at the end, I've got another idea. Somebody (or bodies) go off and write the requirements document. *** Don't design the system, just state the requirements. *** Present the document to the group, and then lets debate the proposal section by section. I'm hoping that whoever writes the document would think, "well, I want X ... but I know so-and-so would want Y and you-know-who would want Z. So I'll put <this> in the document, which anticipates the arguments." If the document is written with that sort of fore-thought, then perhaps we can move quickly through it once completed. This could be done in parallel with the plugin API surve. Anybody in favor of this idea? Any volunteers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
