David mentioned he wasn't going to get Inkboard ported to Bob's PedroXMMP library before the feature freeze kicked in. Do we consider this work an effort to add a feature or fix a bug? I know there are plenty of people who would love to get this into the 0.43 release. Perhaps if I file a bug like "Inkboard doesn't work on Win32". :)
Bob had offered to port it a few weeks back, and I really think this should be done. This is such a killer new feature and if the win32 folk miss out it would be a shame. Plus we can utilize Google's jabber network with Pedro and we cannot with loudmouth. I personally think it should be fairly high priority, but then again that's just because I have a real need for it to work on win32 at this point. Just my .02
Who all is available to put effort into working on this in the near future? I think if enough people are willing to pound this out, we could justify including it.
In any case, it would be wise to do this on a cvs branch for the time being, so that the option exists to decide whether or not to include it later on. If it proves to be a lot better than what's there now, it can be merged; if it needs additional time, then there is the option of leaving it to merge post-release.
