4.  Things provided by the Gentoo VDR Project

The VDR-Project provides you with these things inside the portage tree:

• media-video/vdr provides the basic VDR-binary
• Complete patchsets contained in media-video/vdr to allow every combination of the possible use-flags.
• media-tv/gentoo-vdr-scripts provides the complete init-script logic.
• vdr-plugin.eclass to support the plugin-ebuilds with common tasks
• A large number of plugins under media-plugins/vdr-* (around 90 at the moment)

5.  Want to help?

If you want to help us with improving Gentoo's VDR experience, we would like to hear from you. You can contact us at vdr@gentoo.org. Please also join us in #gentoo-vdr on irc.freenode.org. You need not be a developer to be able to help us.

We need help in these ranges:

• Documentation
• Ebuild maintainance
• Creating new concepts/visions, which make VDR on Gentoo more round.
• Adding new Ebuilds.
