[GEM-dev] [pix_video] error with macbook's built-in camera

[me.grimm]

maybe push "as is"?

question: could Gem plugins be developed independently of Gem main repo?

meaning right now the whole repo is forked to work on one plugin which
seems overkill. would it make sense to split plugins from main repo, work
on it (can this be built independent of Gem?), push, and then main repo is
treated as submodule...

just an organizational thought which may make it easier for others to
contribute other than dan?
