Hello!
projects.vdr-developer.org is a place for community maintained VDR projects. The idea for this was born out of a survey conducted among VDR users, where it turned out, that even some VDR plug-ins that haven't been updated for years are still very popular.
The main goal for this is, to be a community effort to continue the development of such orphaned VDR plug-ins and give them a new home.
I started with releasing a the new version 0.6.0 of the OSDTeletext plug-in, which now supports the recent VDR version.
But projects.vdr-developer.org is open to EVERYONE. It offers a Wiki, file downloads, a documents section, an issue tracker, a news tracker and a GIT repository for each project (via Redmine).

Thanks! This is great news! All our - forgotten - favorite plugins being updated on one place.
BTW, does this mean we're finally going to have a community developed VDR with all those features everybody asks for? Like... features *nobody* misses? Features like "I have a FF card, so why the hell would I want GPU based decoding?" Or "My eHD does it!" Or "No HD interest here..."
BTW, this all sounds like a Nike commercial.
This is all sarcasm, people. But as soon as XBMC works reasonably well with DVB, or with a minimal version of VDR, as Goga777 showed on the link sent above, bye-bye VDR as stand-alone. It's that simple.
By this pace, VDR is death. The "I don't need it!" excuse just doesn't cut it anymore. And it's really sad. VDR is a *fantastic* peace of software.
Yeah! I know! Let the flamewars begin (or you can write something constructive).
