I agree that expanding the xmms team would make more sense than a fork,
and even if there was a fork I would hope that it would eventually get
merged back into xmms.  The only reason why I brought it up was in
responce to the thread from last month where a number of people showed
interest in a new tree to give some of the long ignored patches floating
around some light of day.  I just hate to see xmms fade into the past.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what would be nessicary to open up
development a little and give it some life?
