I'm willing to help where I can, though I'm not (yet) intimately familiar with Perl. Please forgive me if I am out of line here, but I'd like to suggest that, once the hubub around the new release settles down, a small core of developers, whether from SD or the open-source community, take a breather from both general single-issue bug-fixing and new feature production, and analyze the existing code base for stability and maintainability issues. Then these issues could be addressed. Once the base is stable (the music plays, the music continues to play, and the player shows the song that is actually playing, for example), then everyone could proceed with bug fixing additional features and adding new ones.
Again, despite the learning curve, I'm more than willing to help with all of the above.
P.S. Do I understand from earlier messages on the list that the server code is single-threaded? If so, this explains a lot of the behavior that I have seen, and seems like an obvious place to try to improve performance and scalability.....
Hi,
yes, that's correct.
