I like this idea. I've been looking for an open source project to get my feet wet with. I'd love to work on the FLAC library, but I don't know jack s**t about compression algorithms, and I've never worked on a large project before.
If someone would help guide me in the right direction, I'd love to do some of that code. - Brian Waters PS, whats the deal with the codebase being frozen?
