In my original email, from early 2008, I mentioned creating a consistent
branding under the "LinuxTV" moniker.  Hans had replied to that (as he
did above), suggesting instead, to go with the "V4L-DVB" moniker.  And I
completely agree with this suggestion -- (see Hans ' original reply in
the other thread, as he outlined several key points as to why this is
better/more apt).  I am also in complete agreement to his above reply. 

So, to summarize my current opinion, I would like to Introduce a common
branding across the wiki's, m/l's, and #irc channels, using the
"V4L-DVB" moniker.  This would mean:

a) wiki:
the "V4L-DVB wiki", hosted on the LinuxTV Project website

b) mailing lists
- a unified "v4l-dvb-user" mailing list
- a "v4l-dvb-devel" mailing list
- hosted on either linuxtv.org or vger  ... (I know nothing about vger,
but obviously it stands in high regards by you guys, so it sounds like a
good choice)

c) #irc
- a unified #v4l-dvb channel

Some questions for Michael and Mauro:
- I'm not clear from Mike's reply, but do you guys actually want to keep
two separate user lists?  If so, can you outline your reasoning for this
please? 
- it would stand to reason that you hold similarly on the matter of a
unified #irc channel? 
- lastly, Michael, you once mentioned that you were opposed to the link
to the #irc channel being featured prominently on the Linuxtv Website,
or within the wiki .... can you refresh my memory as to why you felt
this way?  As it is my opinion that this is precisely something that
should receive a prominent position in order to help facilitate discussion
