I've done some work on the Trac roadmap (http://handbrake.dynalias.com/trac/roadmap) to better define where I see things headed in the near, medium, and long-term futures.
Please take the time to review (and revise/clarify/expand, where appropriate) this roadmap and share your comments with the group. My word is not law in this regard, I just felt it time to try to more formally lay out the direction we're headed and have a framework to hang our ticketing hats on.
Thoughts/comments/rants?

Cool. Can we take from this that MediaFork is the name in the future, then?
As well, at what point do you see us changing the name on the website, etc. I assume between milestone one and two.
If so, are we inviting confusion as we get undoubtedly a ton of traffic to the site right after we release HandBrake 0.7.2, then during all of that traffic (undoubtedly a ton of support questions, remember the digg incident) we rebrand the site and support materials, etc. to "MediaFork" ?
Personally, seems cool to me, I just thought I would bring it up. I like it.
You really didnt have to make "ChickenSandwich" a part of HB history though
BTW, Like the new look of the site improvements rhester.

Assuming no better name surfaces, yes, we will be MediaFork. I dunno - it just has such a damned nice ring to it in so many ways, and it can mean so much or so little - I'm very hard-pressed to do better. And the imagery possibilities... =)dynaflash wrote:Cool. Can we take from this that MediaFork is the name in the future, then?

Yes, I had intended the change to happen after milestone one.
Well...possibly. But imagine the other scenario: We rebrand everything now, then release MediaFork 0.7.2 - and a whole lot of users are standing around going "what the hell is this - and why does it look EXACTLY LIKE HANDBRAKE?" I dunno...I see advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. Weigh in, folks!dynaflash wrote:If so, are we inviting confusion as we get undoubtedly a ton of traffic to the site right after we release HandBrake 0.7.2, then during all of that traffic (undoubtedly a ton of support questions, remember the digg incident) we rebrand the site and support materials, etc. to "MediaFork" ?
Wasn't my choice. Trac beaned it automatically, so I filled in the missing pieces. I'm sorry, but it really is a piece of our history I don't want lost. I thoroughly enjoyed that exchange.dynaflash wrote:Personally, seems cool to me, I just thought I would bring it up. I like it.

Glad to hear it. They were initially experimental as I played around with different K2 styles, but I really do quite like it. I also really dig the one I've settled on for my own blog (http://multics.dynalias.com/), and it suits it much better than the HandBrake site.BTW, Like the new look of the site improvements rhester.

Definitely agree, 0.7.1 SE if released to the public, has to have the Handbrake name if we have the same gui look. Most downloads I would wager will be mac gui, so thats what they identify with.
Plus, I see you kind of "planted the seed" in respect to the upcoming fork and name change. Good idea, then most people will be expecting it.
Should someone create a branch for 0.7.1 SE specifically (I suppose from svn rev 48 as jbrjake suggested) so we have a base to work from for this release ?

That's my thinking.dynaflash wrote:Definitely agree, 0.7.1 SE if released to the public, has to have the Handbrake name if we have the same gui look. Most downloads I would wager will be mac gui, so thats what they identify with.
I've discovered that we have a very talented group of developers that are like most - impossible to ever reach any sort of consensus. I took the approach of "pull the trigger and see if anybody shoots back" instead.dynaflash wrote:Plus, I see you kind of "planted the seed" in respect to the upcoming fork and name change.

That would be a very good idea, so long as rev 48 is "solid". At the very least, it should be compiled and regression tested as-is to make sure there are no horrible memory leaks and that things work as expected.dynaflash wrote:Should someone create a branch for 0.7.1 SE specifically (I suppose from svn rev 48 as jbrjake suggested) so we have a base to work from for this release ?
