Another Summer of Code project - VideoEdit

[Robert Ochshorn]

I started working on a video editing activity for the XO a couple of
months ago, and have been developing a backend in python based on the
excellent GNonLin [1] GStreamer framework.

I too have a wiki page [2] for the project, and am hoping within the
next few weeks to have some code/prototypes worth sharing. While I had
thought more about video generation than annotation, it seems we have
the same basic idea for the activity and I'm thrilled someone else is
interested in working on this!

Best,

Rob Ochshorn
