Not really so sure, but certainly a non-denemo programmer could.

Huge, I suppose, if you want to get a huge share of the potential
userbase (though I recognize you're not obliged to see this as one of
your targets, it would surprise me if you didn't).

Actually Richard, thanks for the tip since I had not noticed the package
had been orphaned.

It was me who tried to contact Gunter, with (almost) no success; that's
why I took the time to upload 8.8.0.

Since I had some problems, that had to do with libjack, the current
packaging is somewhat overcomplicated, that's why I would be happy to
package the next version of denemo, in a way cleaner and more suitable
to be left to a new maintainer.

That said, I'm really not eager to be the new maintainer, as stated in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2009/09/msg00123.html , so I will
not, for the moment, step in voluntarily, but I will if it ends to be
necessary in order for denemo to stay in Debian.

bye

Pietro
