Java is good. There is a nice tutorial on Python.org

Most doc is inside the code. And that is also incomlete. If missing
doc is the main problem for people helping, I guess I should add it :)

There are some docs what is possible in the Docs dir. But there is no
complete DTD, sorry. Maybe someone can provide it. The doc is in the
Docs dir and inside the code (urgs). Just grep for <freevo>.

The web interface has very basic features right now. I like ideas 1
and 2, someone has to expand the web interface for 1 and after freevo
has a mbus interface 2 are about 10 lines of code.

You can do that right now. With ENTER on a dir or in the config
file. Default settings are random only for audio.

Press ENTER on a directory

We have a sqlite db running in the background. We should start to use
it.

For all that we need the sqlite db. The integrate has stopped some
time ago, Aubin had great ideas similar to yours.

I guess the db part is the most important feature for your ideas.

Why should I kill you? I'm open for every good idea ... and for bad,
since if people implement them, I guess a lot a crasy ideas will make
the way into freevo cvs :)
