Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] sf.net / musicpd community
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.

[Musicpd-dev-team] sf.net / musicpd community
Hello, Along with my mantis cleaning, and mpd wiki improvements, I have gotten admin to the sf.net/projects/musicpd. Today, I have completely disabled access to the sf.net forums, I have added the complete backlog of many of our projects. All known packages of MPD, gmpc, libmpd, libmpdclient, gmpc-plugins, etc.. have been added. Mostly this was for historical reasons, but this is part of a larger vision. A disturbing problem has happened lately, and I know I can't take it all on myself. The problem is that notable projects pages have been disappearing with all of their sources and such. I would like to offer any MPD project a home for mirroring on our project, as we've recently lost a few good projects and their history. For example, pitchfork is now 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. Our sourceforge.net project was left due to the sorry shape of sourceforge. sf.net has improved by leaps and bounds since and going back into it today I checked the logs and it hasn't been touched since 2004. I have removed most people I haven't seen in years from the project. If you were removed in error please let me know and I'll restore your access asap. So, let me get to it. If you have a project you want added to sf.net/projects/musicpd I think we should have open invitation to it. Weather or not I hear from people I would like to begin inviting projects that don't have good external hosting (berlios, etc..) to mirror their project on sf.net/projects/musicpd mantis, unless of course there's objection. Please discuss! -- avuton -- I've got a fever.
