my name is Sanyam, I am final year Student of Computer Science
department , IIT Bombay, india. I am interested in applying for
google summer of code 2010. I contacted the potential mentor also and He suggested to discuss the proposal on the mailing list.<br><b><br>PROJECT:-" Integration of playdar with amarok"</b><br><br> I was doing some search/reading on playdar before putting my
proposal.I found out that<br><br>" <b>Playdar runs a lightweight
webserver on your machine</b> -
this is how you talk to it, and it's how other desktop apps <b>and
web apps</b> talk to it."<p>" Playdar has an HTTP API that returns JSON.
It supports JSONP, " There is nice documentation available for this
API.<br></p><p>Since amarok is written is C/C++/Qt , So I was thinking
of using Boost library (<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html" target="_blank">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html</a>)
or ACE framework (<a href="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/%7Eschmidt/ACE.html" target="_blank">http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html</a>)to
implement the project. <br>
</p><p>Please share your thoughts. </p><p><br></p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Sanyam Goyal<br>Btech4,Senior UnderGraduate<br>IIT Bombay<br>
