Ryan's been dealing with finals at school so we're a bit delayed.
Since Openshot uses python bindings instead of using MLT directly it
can go to stable but 1.3.1 is already out so I was waiting to see if
we were going to get another point release of MLT with the video
preview bug fixed before building it. As a backup plan I do have a git
version of mlt with the bug fix that builds and I have one openshot
user report saying it works.

Also, in the meantime, kdenlive 0.8 has been released.

I guess the build/release of MLT and Kdenlive will need to be
synchronized. How exactly do we do that? I figure mlt will need to be
built first so it will be available to buildsys before kdenlive can be
built, right?

So assuming my logic is correct, we need to:

1. Get a new build of mlt, either (relatively) current git now or wait
for a point release.
2. Get it pushed into testing.
3. Build Kdenlive 0.8 and OpenShot 1.3.1
4. Push both into stable?co

I mention #4 with a question mark because I have provided OpenShot
1.3.1 packages through my google docs and already have some positive
user reports and I have tested it myself with good results. I also
built Kdenlive 0.8 but I don't know if anyone has used it yet.

As a side note, frei0r-plugins 1.3 has been released upstream which I
know OpenShot uses... I'd be willing to be a co-maintainer of it if
Nicolas doesn't mind or could use the help. I see his name on a lot of
packages...

Thanks,
Richard
