The FFmpeg release will be postponed by one week due to some issues with
the bug fixing weekend.  This postpones the MPlayer release by one week
as well.

Since the bug fixing weekend was hampered by the FFmpeg deathmatch, it
will be repeated this weekend.  Please try to really come over to IRC
and concentrate on fixing bugs.

It seems that everybody likes the idea of contests and points, so why
not provide some extra motivation..  We'll make this into a bug fixing
contest.  Grab issues on Bugzilla and fix them.  Points are awarded
according to the bug's severity:

very important   - 5 points
important        - 4 points
normal           - 3 points
unimportant      - 2 points
if idle          - 1 point

Bugs marked as enhancements will get an amount of points depending on
the difficulty and severity of the issue.  Reimar is hereby enlisted as
arbiter for these :)

There's nothing stopping everybody from filing bugs they intended to
fix anyway, just as long as they are real, the more the merrier...

Diego
