 will be MIDI files initially, then exported to WAV and MP3 format using
 instrument samples.


 I read today in the Google Code forums of project sites being closed with
 no warning because they contained MP3s. We would like to avoid this
 happening to us and are writing in advance to inform you of the situation.


Thanks very much for the advance notice. Including relevant sample files
with your project is, of course, perfectly fine.

Just to clarify the record a bit, we ban projects when they obviously
contain no software development activity at all. (It so happens that many
projects that fit that description are also full of MP3 files in their
downloads areas.)

Best,

Intended inclusion of self-generated MP3s on a Google Code Site

2011-11-20 Thread Sean Reed
Dear Google Code Hosting,

We have recently opened a project hosting site on Google Code: 
http://code.google.com/p/slippery-chicken/

The open source software we are writing is for the automatic composition of 
instrumental and computer music, and we intend to include MP3s with examples of 
the music generated using our software. The music generated will be MIDI files 
initially, then exported to WAV and MP3 format using instrument samples.

I read today in the Google Code forums of project sites being closed with no 
warning because they contained MP3s. We would like to avoid this happening to 
us and are writing in advance to inform you of the situation.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Sean Reed, Michael Edwards
