Agreed. And sadly a common facet of the D situation: all words and no
action – including from me.

In principle I could, but only as part of a team. This is not a one
person project.

I am not in a position to receive income, so I work for love or large
payments to charities I nominate. Currently I am a bit overly obsessed
with DVB and DAB+ using GStreamer, so mostly programming for love – and
hence very fickle about doing stuff that requires commitment. The
QtGStreamer has just been declared unmaintained :-(
