The new website is very, very slick looking. Nice job Albert!
I'm pretty excited about what having a company behind Mixxx will do for us.
In our previous discussions with manufacturers about bundling Mixxx one
main stumbling point is that there is no legal entity behind Mixxx. If a
company wants to bundle Mixxx they basically have to take us on our word
that we won't fall off the face the planet and not hold up our end of the
deal. Having a company -- even if it's just a fancy name for Albert and
Adam :) -- makes us seem more legitimate in these discussions.
More importantly, without a full-time developer behind Mixxx there's no way
we can build the momentum that we need to make Mixxx the #1 DJ software out
there. This is our best idea for how to achieve this vision.
