After discussion with upstream, i think i will be going with something like : Description : music player controlled from the notification area or cli Or something similar, better worded, but still fitting in the 60 chars of the short description. Any comment on this ? BTW, another argument against using a leading article is that by removing it, we gain 2-3 additional chars for the short description :))) Friendly, Sven Luther

Quark is an audio player, for geeks, by geeks. It runs in the background with access provided via a FIFO in the filesystem. It uses GStreamer for playing music, and can therefore play any file format supported by GStreamer. (Mmm, seems to be using Xine-Lib in its latest version though, so i will have to change this description). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux iliana 2.4.21-pre5 #1 SMP ven jun 13 14:24:11 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1

Why not using the description from the quark web site?: Quark is an audio player, for geeks, by geeks. It runs in the background with access provided via a FIFO in the filesystem. It uses Xine-lib for playing music, and can therefore play any file format supported by Xine. . Quark comes with a couple front-ends to make it more useful: * charm-quark - a CLI interface * strange-quark - a GTK System Tray interface Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -- Master in Computer Science @ Uni.

Mmm, doesn't sound all that descriptive. Ugh. Since when does the developer's reference recommend this? The article most definitely belongs... It doesn't. The period at the end doesn't belong either, and neither does the first comma. Description: audio player for geeks, by geeks ...is just right. -- G. Branden Robinson| You live and learn.
