I completely agree with you Andreas, it takes a long time working through the code to understand how some things work and even now I get a surprise every so often. The drive to get some documentation in kaa is a great start, but some proper architecture diagrams would help all involved. I've just had a look at Entertainer's web site (www.entertainer-project.com another python/clutter based media center) and the first thing that impressed me was not their UI but the fact that they had UML design documents (sad I know). But this did make me think that they had taken the time to think about what they wanted and get it down in a form that other people can see and understand. So I suppose Dischi this question goes to you, do you have any firm requirements for phase 1 of Freevo 2. Once we have those perhaps we could break the work down so any one interested in helping could be assigned an area that they are interested in/capable of working on. Basically I think its time for some project management <spits out bad taste in mouth>... This email is merely meant as a suggestion/discussion point and in no way am I trying to take over or anything like that :-) later Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
