Purpose: libdmapsharing is a library to access and share DMAP (DAAP & DPAP) content. This library is written in C using GObject and libsoup. The DMAP family of protocols are used by products such as iTunes, iPhoto and the Roku SoundBridge family to share content such as music and photos. Libdmapsharing is now hosted at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdmapsharing). I am interested in moving the project to the GNOME development infrastructure.
Target: Developer platform Dependencies: Existing dependencies include Avahi, GLib 2.0, libsoup and zlib. Resource usage: GNOME FTP, GNOME SVN and GNOME Bugzilla Adoption: Libdmapsharing packages are already provided by Fedora and Mac Ports. GNOME-ness: Complimentary to GUPnP, libdmapsharing will allow GNOME application developers to provide support for popular media sharing protocols. Libdmapsharing's use of GObject and libsoup make it a natural fit for the GNOME platform. I am willing to work with the various sub-projects on features such as internationalization. 3.0 readiness: No clear conflicts exist with the GNOME 3.0 plan. I am looking forward to working with the GNOME project to ensure libdmapsharing is fully compliant with the goals of 3.0. License: LGPL Miscellaneous: GNOME media applications such as GTHUMB are candidates for an increased feature set provided by libdmapsharing. Rhythmbox presently contains similar functionality (in fact, libdmapsharing was originally pulled from Rhythmbox's implementation), but libdmapsharing separates the code into a reusable library and adds DPAP (photo) support.
