Believe it or not, I do agree, but I do like to have a good solid foundation 
to work on :-)

As far as getting a simple application working, Here are the steps that I 
think we still have to achieve to do that :

1. Finalise the Cutting list spec. That's what I am going to do next - 
essentially write up the results to the discussions that we have had.

2. Rewrite BaseCutter so that it handles the spec.

3. Write the client side of the spec. within Kdenlive.

4. Merge or reimplement the interface from BaseCutter into Piave

5. Add the necessary missing render button/dialog to kdenlive and a few other 
bits and pieces (generation of cutting list, etc. Oh, and loading and saving 
of projects, which I haven't got round to yet, but that will be straight 
forward.)

For the first version, I think we can put aside effects, the Cutter 
Capabilities (which is very much needed for effects),  and concentrate on the 
basics of the spec : scenes with a single input file only, etc.

Cheers,
Jason
