Sounds cool. Also sounds like it would split the stream though and disperse the energy on the project. I'd be interested to hear Fred Gleason's take on the idea. I'd personally love to have Rivendell on Apple hardware even better on OS X but there is a thin market for this and if there are too many streams going I'm afraid for the life of the project. One of the great things about Rivendell vs. other Open Licensed broadcast automation systems is that it is in current development and if I get hit by a bus the station can find support for it.
It's one thing to have 1000 & 1 versions of *nix out there. There are millions of users of that software and it can stand some diversity. I don't think Rivendell is in the same position. Chat with Fred and see if the work you're thinking about doing could be merged back into BA at some point. If not, I'd tread lightly. Love the energy though!
