Subject: Re: Summer of Code 2009
Thanks for starting this thread!
Let's start with last years' ideas[1], I think those might still be
relevant:
* New Media Library Database Backend (S4) - still as scary and crazy
as
always.
As ever relevant! I think we should run with this again.
* XMMS2-specific GUI toolkit widgets (GTK+ or Qt) - possibly useful
for an
official GUI, but tru has xmmsclient-qt already?
xmmsclient-qt is only IPC bindings, it could be expanded with
Playlist/Medialib models, but this has not be done yet.
* Effect chain clean-up and crossfade plugin
Hooray!
* Multiple channel support
I don't think we should run with this this year, it's to small.
* High-level clientlib (xmmsclient-easy)
Could be a good idea!
In addition, those are things that came to my mind for this year (most
wanted first):
* MPD-bridge - rafl has one, but it's not complete and it's in
Perl.. would
include proper testing of various mpd clients
How relevant is MPD these days anyway?
* mergestatus - although it's still unclear what the specs really are
I have no idea!
* teh new GUI - work with the community, potentially only accepting
proved
contributors
yes, this could be a good task. But we need someone that we have a
good relationship with already.
* web-based or experimental client (iphone, maemo, android, karaoke,
you
name it)
* spotify xform - is it really hard enough to take a whole summer?
I have no opinions on the above.
* bring back a log/history of played things - as a table or
collection, or
should it be a service client?
Yes, that would be cool. But is it big enough?
Purposeful omissions:
* GenIPC - it's being done anyway, right?
Yaeah, I think tilman is almost done<tm>?
* Service clients - let's merge that ourselves first, shall we?
Agreed, we should not have any soc that depend on this.
