Now THAT's a great idea! And, as we've learned from reading on this list, if 
you can dream it up, Linux can do it.

>>> 
I have a client running [name of Windows-based automation system deleted] ... 
their AM is a news-talk station with a 
bewildering array of programs and features from various networks, most of them 
satellite-delivered and many of the features pre-recorded. Re-inventing that in 
the context of a different system would cost a lot of man-hours, and the 
expense just isn't justifiable.

Now there's a thought-provoking scenario: How about a companion Newsroom module 
for Rivendell? 

Maybe start with a screen where 2/3 of the real estate is dedicated to a 
scrolling Live Script area; and the remaining 1/3 is a parallel column 
containing "Start" icons for playing back actualities and wraps. Everything 
rolls off and/or changes color as the newscast progresses and events are fired. 
A row of Panel icons at the bottom of the screen lets the newsperson fire off 
NEXT events on the main studio's Rivendell setup ("Sports and weather after 
this...[hit commercial]"). Cook up a streamlined version of the Library 
Recorder so news audio can be cut up and loaded fast... 

Ooo-wee ... I think I'm on to something! I only wish I knew how to write code!
