[Protux-devel] how to go on during 0.16.x and 0.17.x

[Martin Herren]

Hej,

how will devellopment go on once 0.16.0 is out ? As far as i understood there 
will be no new feature added during this serie, only bugfixes. Is this correct 
? So in this case we won't stay very long in the 0.16 serie, and go on with 
0.17 quite soon ?

In the PLAN file, there are following goals which should be reached during 
development of 0.17.x:
 - Mixer/Recorder review
 - Duplex mode
 - correction filters
 - mp3/ogg import
 - improvements
For the first 3 points, i won't be able to contribute in coding, as my 
knowledge of libmustux/protux and generally sound programing is not good enough 
yet, and not enough time to spend to get it for the moment.
Perhaps i'll be able to contribute to mp3/ogg import, but i think i'll be 
mainly able to contribute on the last point: other improvements.

So i could work on following points:
 - autostuff (mainly to get rid of make -f admin/Makefile.common)
 - improvement on ProjectManager
 - general interface and layout stuff:
    - The LCD, cursor/zoom status and BusMonitor all draw in the same 
MustuxDrawable widget, it would be better that each has it's own widget, so 
protux will adapt better to different screensizes and behave better when 
resizing the windows (no more hardcoded screenoffsets for positioning). It will 
also be easier to add new stuff like the Spectrogram. (should be easy to change)
    - I could try to work on vzoom, and on a scrollbar which appears when not 
all tracks can be displayed on the screen.
    - Other interface/layout stuff

so what do you think about it ?

/Martin
