Hi Juan,
Thank you very much for contributing Mixxx.
I think you hit a place in Mixxx where definitely is much room for
improvements.
You will find here some other ideas
http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsoc2013ideas
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bugs?field.tag=midi
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mixxx
to get an Idea what we are thinking.
Heres some personal toughs:
* It is really good idea to get rid of the XML file. There is always a
confusion for new users how to use it.
* Parsing the XML files is slow
* I am not in favor of a high end mapping GUI, because the controllers are
to different to set up a universal GUI solution
* we should iron out the work flow from the mixxx GUI to the Scripts to
have a low threshold for new users.
* I am not familiar with CoffeeScript and so I am not sure if it is a great
benefit for Mixxx, because:
** It "just" a new Script syntax.
** we have still to deal with Java and XML
** Longer stack = more code to maintain
** CoffeeScript toolchain required
** JavaScript is verry popular these days, so it is likely you find a lot
of people familiar with JS, How about CoffeeScript?
Conclusion:
Lets work on a JS based and on a XML free scripting engine, with new
convenient functions to make scripts easy clean and powerful.
This is of course a long way, so your approach might be a good intermediate
solution.
Kind regards,
Daniel
