Hi guys!
Just a quick message to mention that I am still working on this. I'm
currently triaging the existing issues in our github tracker. Since a lot
of them are actually related to liquidsoap usage or question that are of
potential interest here, I have subscribed the mailing to the tracker's
notification. Hopefully, this should stimulate the discussions.
Feel free to reach out through the tracker for specific issues or potential
enhancements (though the former would be favored by now). Addtionally, the
call for action for future development is still valid! I have had a user
interested in reshaping the website and another one interested in hosting
the mailing list but that's all for now. Also, I forgot to add these
potential area of interest:
- Dust off and enhance the flows service
- Help working on webcaster
As remainder here's the list from the last email:
- The website needs a lifting. It's been the same for perhaps a decade now.
Needs new styling, needs to be fitted for mobile, etc.
[On person interested]
- The doc, as well, could use some work, revision, typo check,
re-organization etc.
- Liquidsoap on windows is in an unfortunate limbo. On the one hand,
cross-compiling for windows has never been that clean but, ironically, the
latest build seems to suffer from some serious issues. Cross-compiling is a
really fun thing to work on, you won't be disappointed!
- There's been some awesome work done on ocaml-ffmpeg by @gndl. This work
needs to be integrated into liquidsoap's decoders and encoders.
- The github bugs need to be triaged and cleaned up. Any bug that doesn't
apply to at least 1.3.0 should be kindly closed with a nice message asking
to re-open/re-submit if the bug still applies to 1.3.0 or above.
- The Debian packages should be updated. That shouldn't be too much work
here and I know it would make a lot of folks happy.
- The mailing list needs to be moved out of sourceforge.
