Re: Compile error in gst-plugins

[Rod Butcher <rbutcher hyenainternet com>]

Thanks for replying Nickolay and Archana. Is there a reference point for 
following what the state of current development is on various Gnome 
components ? I.E. where can I check what is currently fairly stable, 
what is getting major changes, and find out what the new/changed 
features are ? Or do developers discuss this informally with each other 
without using a public mailing list or whatever ?
thanks
Rod
