Short description</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> : </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">My proposal aims at revamping the Amarok scripting interface, and adding an intuitive Script Creator graphical application allowing easy script creation by non-coders and coders alike. 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 scripting. 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>
