More items from an ancient TODO, some probably obsolete, others
controversial, so I didn't add any of them to the issue tracker, but
anyone that thinks any of them is a good idea feel free to add them.

Yea, why not? Or at least the Plan 9 hosted bits.

I think I was thinking of the player fgb ported, it is in contrib.

There are multiple broadcom chips, I know some people were passing a
driver around years ago, but as usual was never publicly released as
far as I know.

There are at least two, sometimes one works, sometimes the other works...

No idea, I stopped paying attention a while ago, have there been any
news on either front? (I think nemo had a usb kb driver, did that get
merged?)

As long as it is a fork, which it is, why not remove contrib as a
separate entity? Pu all in /usr/src?

I was thinking it might be worth writing a player for the sanest  
video format you can, making naive assumptions on aspect ratio and  
other fiddley details, and port transcode to do all the heavy lifting  
for it. (Transcode being a converter program which builds with mplayer.)

I'm guessing mplayer/transcode won't be terribly hard to port. The  
port may have to do without the assembly-language optimizations but I  
built mplayer on & for arm-linux before it had asm-opts for arm and  
it built & ran fine.

hahaha! Funny thing is we have python included as of last night or  
so, but it's only there for hg.

This is a pretty good idea, there is already an effort at Google to
implement vp8 in Go: http://code.google.com/p/vp8-go/

We could use that once we add Go to the distribution.
