Since then, I decided -to make it public and add even more features to make it a complete and useable -media player. - -For the moment, it looks pretty much like XMMS, Winamp and similar software. -Even though it has far less features than those, the essential components of a -usable and user-friendly program are there in my opinion. - -From a programmatic point-of-view, I have decided to write a program that is -released only when considered bug-free. The free software community lacks, -IMnsHO, a sense of quality that makes its programs nearly useless to -lambda users. Not only is it useless, but I think it also gives free software -a bad reputation. The principle of freedom in "free software" is fundamental -to me, but it has to be reachable not only by some sort of geeky elite. There -is no point in telling users that since they have the freedom to enhance those -programs, they must fix them if they want to use them. Releasing a program -with too many bugs is of no use and is likely not to interest other fellow -programmers in the community either. - -On the other hand, Apple has published an interesting program called "iTunes". -Of course, it is not free software but it does implement interesting ideas -that I would like to include in Cynthiune. For example: CD burning, complete -playlist management, etc... Personally I find its user interface to be not as -user-friendly as it could be. My plan is thus to take advantage of my own -programming skills and sense of aesthetics (and ergonomy) to try to write -something a little bit different, inspired both by XMMS/Winamp and iTunes. -Cynthiune is thus currently very basic but its core design is starting to be -extensible enough that it will not be too much trouble to enhance it. -</longdescription> -</pkgmetadata> |
