Hello I hope this is the right place to write and ask about haskore.
I'm a musician and experienced software-developer (but still a haskell-noob). I am extremely excited about haskore, because it allows to express all my (formal) musical ideas in a mathematical way, and then execute them and hear the midi-result (an executable DSL!). This is really fantastic, and I want to get my fingers dirty (especially in formulating higher concepts such as harmonies etc.) Since I am also devoted to F/OSS, I have a number of open questions concerning the state of the project: 1) What license applies? There is no "LICENSE" in the darcs-repo or the zip. 2) Where is the "home" of haskore, i.e. a Homepage, a mailinglist, a bugtracker etc? http://haskell.org/haskore/ seems a bit outdated. There is http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskore, which gets updated once in a while, but for such a powerful project, this is not adequate (IMHO). 3) Who is the team (may commit changes), where should I send patches (if i had any ..)? 4) Concerning the cabal build-system: I followed the suggestions of the Readme, and removed all references to SuperCollider, then harshly deleted 'src/Haskore/Interface/SuperCollider' and 'src/Test' (also commented out executables 'test' and 'air' from the cabal file. Finally I could install it. 4a) Now I am missing the functions/actions from TestHaskore, especially 'play::Music -> IO ()'. How can I do that now? 4b) Why does Haskore (which is rock solid in the original zip) now depend on "highly experimental stuff" ? It is great to have additional interfaces to other players, but IMHO it shouldnt hinder users from installing the Basis etc. Is there no way to give configuration options to "Setup.lhs configure" to enable/disable some features (such as SuperCollider)? That way, the default-behavior would work for everyone, while the experimental features would still be available to more advanced users. Thanks for keeping this alive. So long, Sebastian. _______________________________________________ haskell-art mailing list haskell-art@lists.lurk.org http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art
