In turn, I want to thank you for being part of the team running the
stand! Sorry I couldn't make it down.

Go for it; mail the patch to me or to the list.

Hm. Network Instruments are the way here, although there are Legal
Issues with doing this :)

I don't know about these two.

Network Instruments. Yes indeed. This is going to happen.

Unlikely, but if someone looks into it it might turn out to be easier.
Dunno. In practice, though, you're not really supposed to ship whole
Jokosher projects around in the same way that you're not supposed to
ship entire Cubase projects around; instead, you encode to some sort
of transport format (say, Ogg Vorbis), and we can already do that to
exchange music with Cubase.

> - Windows version?

Porting Jokosher isn't the problem (and indeed would be trivial, since
it's Python), it's porting the stuff we depend on, like GStreamer and
Cairo. All these things are being worked on on Windows, so perhaps
this will be doable soon (or already is doable, but we have no-one
looking at it).

Don't know about any of these, except that "Jashaker" is a coincidence :)

yes! that's what we're going to do! sell it! screw open source! Bah.

It'd be useful if these went into the bugtracking system; since I
still ahven't finished the Simple Bug Submitter, can someone drop them
in? (I don't have time right now.)

Nice one! Thanks again :)

Don't pay any attention to him, Sid. It's eggs, *sugar*, and nog.
