Concerning the wiki: I would prefer a neutral domain
Sure. I had no other domain handy. Your domain name could also be used, if you set up DNS this way (vga2scart.lowbyte.de) or we register some free domain name vga2scart.de.vu or vga2scart.eu.org?
something like vga2scart.eu.org sounds good. Though our project is not limited to vga2scart. In the meantime I successfully use a modified version of the vga-sync-fields patch on DVI/HDMI interface also. Providing me high quality 576i over DVI/HDMI on intel i9xx machines with SDVO ports. Originating from SDTV our project could be important for HDTV also.
Everyone, could please brainstorm about a name for this project [5].
or even better
for this.
If you are fine with that, great. My reasoning choosing ikiwiki is, that I would expect it to save you (and others) time.
I wonder why nobody else joins our discussion.

You can setup a repos with current source found in vga-sync-fields package at anytime. Everybody is invited to test and contribute. I don't consider it as 'my' project. I just will contribute the initial idea behind frame rate control and a sample implementation for it.
And of course I will continue to develop as time permits.

As said, I don't consider it as my project. Everybody is invited to improve the project status. There are left many ideas and features still not implemented.
As written in my other message I continued to set up ikiwiki for the project [5]. If something else will be better for the project, please say so and we can change that.
I consider the most important thing right to get someone to publish detailed instruction on how a VGA2SCART cable can be assembled.
For me a circuit diagram is not good enough for an inexperienced user in soldering as myself. (Do I attach/fix the resistors on a board or just between the wires? Where can I get the parts? …)
I already wrote a to-do list with issues of lesser priority. But features that would improve things a lot.
- like writing a tool similar to powerstrip. Which lets you adjust overscan
and other parameters in real time by pressing cursor keys. or
- derive xine's masterclock from graphics card frame rate. This would
provide almost instant sync after a channel switch. The idea for this was published by 'durchflieger' [3]
There are still left many things to do. As often in life it's not a matter of ideas but a matter of time:)
I added those two to the TODO list of the website [6].
Thanks,
Paul
