+Count me in, I was planning something similar too, since my interest is 
+also mainly in the Audio/Video area, that's also why I registered as a 
+packager in this area.
+
+I guess once the build system is up and running and we are all set up as 
+packagers then we can talk about the details, but I don't think it 
+should be here on the general dev ML, the ML would quickly get 
+polluted with too many parallel discussions if every sub-group did all 
+their discussion on the same ML. We could use a dedicated ML (either 
+an official one or else I can set one up quickly on my server) or even
+a simple forum thread on the future Mageia forum.

+Don't get demotivated by the nay-sayers that commented on your initial 
+post, the argument that there are too many tasks is silly, as long as 
+there is a maintainer for a task package (or any package) it should be 
+included in the repos (if that won't be the case then Mageia wouldn't be 
+the kind of open community distro it set out to be).
