Tobias:
Thanks for your input! I know I contacted you regarding the Unison-Studio
endeavor several years back (3?? Wow, time flies!) You are the main person
holding LMMS together at this point, so I definitely do not want to
distract you from keeping LMMS usable and integrating contributions from
volunteers. LMMS is what it is. It is still version-1.0 regarding system
design.
I know you are unable to contribute to the uprising, or at least not until
it is close to feature-parity with LMMS. However, I would appreciate some
implementation and design input regarding my findings. Please consider
these documents (others are welcome to comment as well!):
- https://github.com/pgiblox/unison/blob/master/docs/basic_ideas.texi
- https://github.com/pgiblox/unison/blob/master/docs/TODO.txt
Some of these ideas are pipe-dreams, others are not well-formed, but I hope
it gives some idea of where I'd like things to go. I hope you have some
input based on struggles you've had with extending LMMS and, in particular,
the resource framework.
