I think that Community involvement is a horrible idea. we represent
the very nature of the free open source software community, and we
should act accordingly. We must close our project off to outside
interference and remain purist and isolated!!
if you can't tell, I'm joking. I love the idea. I suggest sticking
with SVN though. git is too obscure and lacks a central server to
ensure accuracy and integrity. We must stick with the client server
model to ensure longevity.

The problem is that notable projects pages have been disappearing

gone and while the latest sources are available, the rest may have
been lost. And pitchfork is really just one of many I have noticed
disappearing. May not seem like a big deal, but I guess it all
depends on your priorities.

Hello Avuton,
this is a very good idea. I think making code available is important.
There are too many client projects with the same goals - how many
last.fm scrobbling clients are there? How many web interfaces are
there? People should rather continue/fork old projects (like I did
with ncmpc), instead of duplicating them. This cannot work if the
code isn't available easily.
That also means that we should invite everybody to use a public SCM
repository. git is a good idea, because if someone turns off the
server, the whole commit history isn't lost.
The MPD project has a great infrastructure (web server, git server,
wiki, bug tracker, forum, and of course people like Avuton, Qball and
many others who take care of everything), and it's a good idea to
share it with related projects. I believe that teaming up more with
client developers will strengthen the whole MPD project, both on the
developer and on the user side.
