+@chapter General Questions
+
+@section When will the next Libav version be released? / Why are Libav releases so few and far between?
+
+Like most open source projects Libav suffers from a certain lack of
+manpower. For this reason the developers have to prioritize the work
+they do and putting out releases is not at the top of the list, fixing
+bugs and reviewing patches takes precedence. Please don't complain or
+request more timely and/or frequent releases unless you are willing to
+help out creating them.
+
+@section I have a problem with an old version of Libav; where should I report it?
+Nowhere. We do not support old Libav versions in any way, we simply lack
+the time, motivation and manpower to do so. If you have a problem with an
+old version of Libav, upgrade to the latest git snapshot. If you
+still experience the problem, then you can report it according to the
+guidelines in @url{http://libav.org/bugreports.html}.
+
+@section Why doesn't Libav support feature [xyz]?
+
+Because no one has taken on that task yet. Libav development is
+driven by the tasks that are important to the individual developers.
+If there is a feature that is important to you, the best way to get
+it implemented is to undertake the task yourself or sponsor a developer.
+
+@section Libav does not support codec XXX. Can you include a Windows DLL loader to support it?
+
+No. Windows DLLs are not portable, bloated and often slow.
+Moreover Libav strives to support all codecs natively.
+A DLL loader is not conducive to that goal.
+
+@section My bug report/mail to libav-devel/user has not received any replies.
+
+Likely reasons
+@itemize
+@item We are busy and haven't had time yet to read your report or
+investigate the issue.
+@item You didn't follow @url{http://libav.org/bugreports.html}.
+@item You didn't use git master.
+@item You reported a segmentation fault without gdb output.
+@item You describe a problem but not how to reproduce it.
+@item It's unclear if you use ffmpeg as command line tool or use
+libav* from another application.
+@item You speak about a video having problems on playback but
+not what you use to play it.
+@item We have no faint clue what you are talking about besides
+that it is related to Libav.

+
+@section Is there a forum for Libav? I do not like mailing lists.
+
+You may view our mailing lists with a more forum-alike look here:
+@url{http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.user},
+but, if you post, please remember that our mailing list rules still apply there.
