If you find any passage in the documentation unclear or
maybe misunderstandable then report it here. Docu is the
same as code, it can have bugs. I'm sure Gabu would like
some feadback.

<plain text>
The dev-eng list is about the development of mplayer.
There belongs everything that is about the code or the
architecture of mplayer. This includes also patches.

There are way more ppl subscribed to it then the developers,
most are just listening to be up to date with new features
or new developments.

The user list is about user questions and bug reports.

The matrox list is about mga_vid and vo_mga specific stuff.

I think an attached compressed `diff -Naur` is the best.

At the moment there is only a developer channel (which is
invite only, so dont bother to try joining). Maybe we
should create an additonal one, but i wouldnt expect any
developer there because there are too busy.
And i rather like the developers to write code than
answering questions on irc ;-)
