I think you as the original author and Henning as top contributor in recent years should decide that. My personal feeling is GPL. And parts of the software (autotrack -h) states already that it is GPL'ed. To get it distributed widely does also depends on other things: > haskell.org/haskore is indeed out of date, and there is unfortunately > no official home for Haskore.

To build a community you need a place where ppl can come to for questions. A Wiki is ideal. It shouldnt be to much work to redirect haskell.org/haskore to the wiki page. And the wikipage can easily be worked out a bit more, telling ppl about the rest of the infrastructure. > Haskore was originally created by me and my students at Yale, but in > recent years Henning Theilmann has created the darcs version of > Haskore, an ambitious re-engineering of the original ideas with lots > of modifications and extensions. So in fact, it is already a community work. And I bet that for CS students that are interested in "music" this will stay a really interesting project, so we could expect contributions of motivated young fellows. > Henning and I have recently decided to refactor darcs Haskore in an > attempt to re-capture the simplicity of the original Haskore, while > not losing any of the extended functionality.

As I said, im just learning haskell for some weeks, but I am doing my PhD in software engineering and have some practical experience in refactoring large systems and setting up an open project infrastructure. IMHO everything needed is already there, but it needs to be organized a bit better: * Homepage wikipage * Darcs RCS * Mailinglist * Build system (in two flavors: Make and Cabal) * Docs: literate tutorial, how about haddock? * Tests And of course to get more ppl into it, it is a must that one can install/use the package without too much pain. (To learn how all these things work (from a social point of view) in the F/OSS world, I suggest reading the book http://producingoss.com by Karl Fogel) > Also, I am teaching a full term course on computer music at Yale this > fall, so I will be generating a lot of pedagogical material. Here lilypond pops up immediatly: On the wikipage and the "Tutorial" there are some notes of "work in progress", but I couldt find anything. As you can see, my motivation rises ...
