Unfortunately no such thing exists.

The problem is that when you ask questions and guidance regarding development of features that isn't planned in the near future, my experience is that it is very hard to get help/thoughts from the core developers. There are a few that tries to answer if the question is in the area they have worked, and you are certainly one of those, but if the feature is something completely new it is sometimes hard to get a discussion started about "how to do it". If new developers starts to make patches that doesn't fit the SqueezeCenter style/architecture, it will just result in that they get tired to develop for SqueezeCenter because thier patches never is applied. I really wish Logitech could dedicate a few hours per week to answer guestions in the development forum to guide new developers that looks to be interested in SqueezeCenter developing. Even though it would mean less time spent on developing in the short run, it might result in more developers and more developing time in the long run. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31431 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
