Re: Netjuke 1.0b18-pre1 Released

One of my friends(compsci major, actually just graduated) is interested in 
writing a perl(probably) script specificly to act as a process for jukebox 
play combined with netjuke. Once his finals are over he said he'd begin 
working on it with me. The reason I was interested was that if this xmms 
package could replace it we would rather help out the project than start 
something new, but as it doesn't, we'll go ahead and start on it.

I've mentioned this before, and like I said, we'll set up a sourceforge 
project for it and once its ready for public testing we'll let this list know 
so people can try it out.

thanks!
