20 "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
23 A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the
24 battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it
25 all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
26 in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on,
30 If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
31 let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
32 like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
35 This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality
36 code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin
37 code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
38 We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins.
39 People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
42 Other modules containing plugins are:
46 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
48 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
51 contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
52 rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
55 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
