+        <p>Back in February, I got curious to see
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Using_VLC_to_stream_bittorrent_sources.html">if
+VLC now supported Bittorrent streaming</a>.  It did not, despite the
+fact that the idea and code to handle such streaming had been floating
+around for years.  I did however find
+<a href="https://github.com/johang/vlc-bittorrent">a standalone plugin
+for VLC</a> to do it, and half a year later I decided to wrap up the
+plugin and get it into Debian.  I uploaded it to NEW a few days ago,
+and am very happy to report that it
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent">entered
+Debian</a> a few hours ago, and should be available in Debian/Unstable
+tomorrow, and Debian/Testing in a few days.</p>
+
+<p>With the vlc-plugin-bittorrent package installed you should be able
+to stream videos using a simple call to</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+vlc https://archive.org/download/TheGoat/TheGoat_archive.torrent
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+</p>It can handle magnet links too.  Now if only native vlc had
+bittorrent support.  Then a lot more would be helping each other to
+share public domain and creative commons movies.  The plugin need some
+stability work with seeking and picking the right file in a torrent
+with many files, but is already usable.  Please note that the plugin
+is not removing downloaded files when vlc is stopped, so it can fill
+up your disk if you are not careful.  Have fun. :)</p>
+
+<p>I would love to get help maintaining this package.  Get in touch if
+you are interested.</p>
