Hi,

Since we need to discuss the addition of software to the "List of 
software that does not respect the Free System Distribution 
Guidelines"[1], and that libfaac is not listed there, I think it's
a good idea to add it there, but also to test the process along the
way.

To make it easier to review the change, a patch will follow this
mail.

The patch has been made with git, as we can simply clone the
libreplanet wiki with git, but we need additional packages for
git to be able to use the mediawiki remote protocol[2].

In Parabola we have:
> $ pacman -S -i git
> [...]
> Optional Deps   : tk: gitk and git gui
> [...]
> perl-mediawiki-api: git mediawiki support
> perl-datetime-format-iso8601: git mediawiki support
> perl-lwp-protocol-https: git mediawiki https support
> [...]

So we can install them with the following command:
$ sudo pacman -S --needed \
  git \
  perl-mediawiki-api \
  perl-datetime-format-iso8601 \
  perl-lwp-protocol-https

With Trisquel we can install git-mediawiki which depends on
the packages mentioned above:
$ sudo apt install git-mediawiki

And then we can clone the libreplanet wiki in this way
$ git clone mediawiki::https://libreplanet.org/w/ libreplanet

I've not tested yet pushing so I've no idea if it works, but at least
we can review the patch meant for that page.

The neat thing with Mediawiki is that we can have different
development models in the same wiki, where more technical and less
technical users can collaborate.
