[mythtv] Video Conferencing Plugin

[Tako Schotanus]

Ambitious project!

I think there are something like 2 options:

1. Isaac really likes what you have done and makes your work an official 
module and you get CVS access

2. You just keep your code as a separate download

Option 1 would probably be best because your module will get more 
exposure and you wouldn't have to patch your code if the core module API 
gets changed.

Nice work, wouldn't mind seeing it work some time.

Cheers,
 -Tako
