This text is a collection of things to take care of for the next soc as

The Goal:
Our goal in respect to soc is and must be of course exactly one thing and
that is to improve FFmpeg, to reach this goal, code must
* conform to the svn policy and patch submission guidlines
* must improve ffmpeg somehow (faster, smaller, "better",
* conform to the svn policy and patch submission guidelines
* must improve FFmpeg somehow (faster, smaller, "better",
more codecs supported, fewer bugs, cleaner, ...)
for mentors and other developers to help students to reach that goal it is
essential that changes to their codebase are publically vissible, clean and
essential that changes to their codebase are publicly visible, clean and
easy reviewable that again leads us to:
* use of a revision control system like svn
* seperation of cosmetic from non cosmetic changes (this is almost entirly
