This involves getting rid of dangerous and obsolete methods, and adding accessors for all the new features added to Amarok over the years. Every major type will have a QtScript object representation, allowing unparalleled scripting flexibility. I also plan on writing unit tests to allow automated testing of the Amarok scripting API. The third part involves documentation of the entire scripting API in-source and automating the generation of Amarok Scripting API documentation from the in-source documentation. All of this will lead to a cleaner and more feature rich well-documented scripting API hopefully generating new interest in Amarok script. Other features I plan to work upon, if time permits, are allowing users to terminate long running or stuck scripts instead of forcing a restart, adding GUI handling to the script creation utility and porting popular Amarok 1.4 scripts, if possible, to the newer QtScript based interface.</span></p>
