First days...

During these first two weeks of my internship, it has been studying time...
Studying a lot of things useful, about: git (mostly progit.org), python (mostly docs.python.org), gstreamer, ges, video formats generally.

It has been a greeat time learning in detail, how powerful git and python are! I think that sacrificing some time in the beginning to get more general knowledge and confidence is something worth doing, than attacking specific tiny parts of the project. And I am sure that this time "lost", will be compensating us afterwards.

Now, I am focusing in understanding the pitivi project better... I am following the commits and the irc discussions from the pitivi team, which helps a lot and I will be trying to re-enable the undo/redo functionality in the ges-ported version for the beginning.

The beginning is never so elegant, but it is so refreshing and challenging, feeling as a newbie again and again...
