Can you give me your release estimate time, I will try to rewrite all
code to work with PHP5 within your deadline time.
(Just maybe you could write a config ebuild function that set up basic
livesupport tables, configs, etc.)

Ok, that seems resonable

As quoted from the rt2400 list:
> YOU ARE A GENIUS!!
Last week I had a small presentation considering LS 1.0 on event
organize by "Media On Web" in Montenegro, with several radio stations
from Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia that are interested in our project.
( Studio 88 Mostar, Antena M- Podgorica, City radio- Nis, Radio Uzice,
Krusevac , Valjevo )
I would like to inform you about some very interesting remarks and
comments I had from those radio stations.However, these stations are
already using some expencive, well-known softwares (granted by some
independent institutions) like FirePlay, Jazzler etc. They are
complaining about their bad support and lack of interest for the
users.
I had an impression that they are all choosing softwares mainly by
their design and screen appearance. They are very interested in RDS,
and the way they can promote and finance themselves through RDS (with
commercials and ads..).
Comments and questions were considering audio mixing, keyboard
shortcuts for sweepers and short ( fly ) jingles in live mode, the
possibillity of writing intro and outro time in metadata,
multilanguage... Also they are interested in training courses for LS
and would like to participate.
They are looking forward for our future version that will have more
features.
On the contrary, they don't seem very interessted at all in podcasting
and streaming (they have informations that today commercial radio
stations are giving up more and more on streaming in contrast of radio
stations that 'live on the edge')
They all welcomed our Linux version, and were very suspicious about
Windows and Mac versions (what's good to have open source software on
expencive licenced Win?)
My impression was that they all felt very interested in transferring
into future versions of our LS
thanks for the report. following this it would be great if you could write
some specifications on how you would like these features to work - or
explain what they mean in detail:
>> considering audio mixing,
you mean the advanced playlist editor type of mixing?
>> keyboard shortcuts for sweepers and short ( fly ) jingles in live mode,
yes. this we need. if you could write some *use scenario* for this it would
be great. all the way from uploading to playing it live. how does it get
into the database? how do you assign it to the keyboard? how does it work
when using LS Studio?
>> the possibillity of writing intro and outro time in metadata,
is this also the advanced playlist editor?
>> multilanguage...
what aspect exactly?
>> Also they are interested in training courses for LS and would like to
participate.
CAMP hasn't done much training recently. but we should probably consider
offering some. especially as there seems to be a real interest in *being
cared for*. but i also think we could create a good cooperation if we get
some *early movers* to start working with LS to push the development by
conrete feature requests. and in exchange we will customize training for
their needs.
as for the podcasting issue...

this is true, but at the same time, podcasting is a very simple and
standardised way for exchanging information. not for the enduser, but for
radio networks this could be the easiest way to go: you put your recent
programme online as an audio podcast and the other stations subscribe to
the podcast and get your files this way. so the audience might not be the
public but other stations.
>They all welcomed our Linux version, and were very suspicious
Of course, these were only comments and remarks of the
radio station people, not my personal remarks and
wishes for the future. So, consider this as my attempt
to present you the first feedback of the potential
users from this region.
I already answered them about all the issues (maybe
more then I should - also for the
podcasting issue
