   release: cheap inventionzy, and medium inventionzy
-  release: C EDL/specific portion [A,B] player
-  pull ripping/make mine take a file
-  ?? ordering/looseness below ??
-  pull realtime players from mine [?], update todo
-  build library phase, 20 dvd's
-  create web site/api
-  propagate wikipedia with list of realtimers etc.
-    don't mention mplayer EDL, just link to wikipedia :P
-  more build library
+  release: C EDL
   compare netflix/blu-ray timings et al
+  === loose ordering/eventually ===
+    linearize
+    supplement mplayer EDL with mine (mac users, just ffmpeg) ???
+    update todo/docu
+    create web site/api-ify
+    LLC
+      if...back off to just the ffmpeg (plus an "[A,B]" viewer) only...but for now stick with just DVD playback [?] until people want more...

+== under next release specific items: ==
+  cheap minimize demo "fake auto" :)
+    friday 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDeLjcTxMaM&feature=player_profilepage
+  cheap static-ify demo for mutes
+  also a straight "half mute" demo, using volume downs/ups     
+   cheap minimize via (probably foreground window + API real windows API) 
+   url -> url inference [hopefully this is cake...]
+   fix the failing 9 digit test the fancy shmancy way :P
+   can pass in a profanity command line
+   can handle dual md5's
+   youtube: use the javascript API somehow, like http://universalsubtitles.org/en does
+     phase 1: does they use inferred timestamp?  can I use that generally, too? [do phase 1--publish simple javascript demo of it muting for awhile after startup]
