if your goal is to post old quotes, thats cool.

one of my goals is to make sure that certain developers, who made their
own project and then ran it into the ground, arent made as admins
again. they had a good run but couldnt even make an
announcement that their project had died. the last one out, did not
turn out the lights.

that to me is insane. that project was community run, with absolute
voting made on every decision. what went wrong there? all i see is
Keiran's last
mail https://www.mail-archive.com/libav-devel@libav.org/msg85112.html
and the community ran github has not been updated to say its status
either https://github.com/libav/libav

thats why i'm asking you and derek what your goals are. is your goal to
turn ffmpeg into a community ran admin with lots of voting? well
didnt that other project (that shall not be named) do exactly that? and
what happened to them? its gone? gone. dead. 

how do you keep a community ran project going if there is no paid
organization behind it? and who turns out the lights at the end?

i think that would be a good goal for derek and the
others here to do. figure out how to turn off the old
github https://github.com/libav/libav . turn out the lights.
