Python with some C parts to connect to external libs. > 2) Where do I go to get the source for 2.0? svn://svn.freevo.org/freevo/trunk svn://svn.freevo.org/kaa/trunk > 3) Would anyone care to be my mentor for learning Python and > Freevo?

Try to understand our code, maybe write some docs and some small examples. It is very important for any hacking in freevo/kaa to understand kaa.notifier (in base). After that, search for a part you are willing to code stuff for and let us know. > Since I'm the new guy, I'd be more than happy to look over old code > and do whatever checks would be needed to get a 1.6 or 1.7 branch > put out there.

I have no time for a 1.5.5, so if you are willing to take a look at bugs and fix them, it would be great. But do not ask any questions about the internal design, it has changed so much in 2.0, I don't remeber how 1.5 works :) > Looking over the old code will also help me get acquainted with the > internals of Freevo and make my transition into 2.0 a LOT faster.

So an update may be nice for 1.5 users but not needed for 2.0 So to summerize: work on the 1.5 branch may be helpfull for 1.5.5 if there are bad bugs but not helping for 2.0. Merging from 1.5 to 2.0 is an impossible task. Dischi -- System going down at 1:45 this afternoon for disk crashing.
