Good to hear that plans in-place to match the great capabilities of the Squeezebox/Slimserver (when it running well) with a mature, disciplined s/w development process.
As was pointed out, I was using 'open source' to conflate numerous dimensions on which to place slimserver, such as - Open source - closed source as a licensing model Community - in-house team for s/w build and testing multi-platform - Wintel as target Binary - perl as technology stack Having read the posts, my original assertion was that slimserver was currently placed at the atypical ends of many of these dimensions. The mass-market for Squeezeboxes would be people who have already got a ripped music library, which would overwhelmingly mean iPod owners using Windows XP - that's just a fact. So would the current slimserver delight that marketplace? IMHO, no it wouldn't as of 6.5.1 And I would wager that a non-trvial number of Squeezebox buyers aren't even aware they need to run slimserver. Looking forward to slimserver 7. :-) -- amcluesent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amcluesent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32904 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
