Yay,
This is really cool news. I think lots of people want to use
liquidsoap, but for many of them scripts are frightening. If instead
there was a GUI, at least for beginning, it would be really nice.
Along these lines, the GUI would output a nice readable script that
the user could study, in order to gain some knowledge about scripting
if he ever has to write his own script for advanced use. The GUI
should focus on what can be easily done graphically: single, playlist,
even input.http, as well as fallbacks, add nodes, and outputs are OK.
Switches could be treated in a slightly specialized way that I
described before: switch([({TIMEPRED},SOURCE)]) to hide the complexity
of the possible predicates. It would not be possible to edit custom
transitions, but there could be a node corresponding to the ready-made
smartcrossfade() and crossfade().

Any tool that would support these basic building blocks, in an
intuitive graphical way would help people start liq with a good
understanding of its basics, and it would be enough for reproducing
most examples, and all of beginners' scripts anyway. To me, the
motivation is very good.
Good luck!
