Rhythm Box
I heard several people say that the developer for Rhythm Box has decided it is not worth competing with Amarok and other media players anymore. If this is true how will this affect Fedora? Will we simply adopt Amarok as the default Gnome media solution or will we try and get someone to pick up the development and take over the project? I am not a coder so I can not help and while I am not sure if this is true if it is I would like to see it still maintained.

That'd be the first I've heard of it - rhythmbox is still a fairly decent audio app (even if the album cover plugin has some odd results - it brought up an Elmo cover for The Clash's London Calling here, which had me in stitches) and as far as I'm aware still maintained. If this is true how will this affect Fedora? Will we simply adopt Amarok as the default Gnome media solution or will we try and get someone to pick up the development and take over the project? Amarok is a KDE app last I checked so it shouldn't affect GNOME at all :-) I have noted in the recent past some effort to bring in Banshee as a default media player - I'm not 100% sure this is wise as while it's very good - I use it day to day - it's not quite as solid as Rhythmbox IMHO and being Mono may not be to everyone's tastes.

If this is true how will this affect Fedora? There seems to be some confusion about this. One of the developers said he wasn't personally interested in continuing the development but there is more than one involved in the project and Fedora intends to continue including Rhythmbox as the default for GNOME for the foreseeable future.
