I will try to answer your questions as best I can.<BR><BR><BR>The framework I am working on for Amarok 2.0 is meant to allow others online services to be quickly integrated into Amarok. It is by no means a finished work, and it's current form might change quite drastically, especially when people like you start to use it and give feedback. <BR><BR>to start working with Amarok 2.0 you will need to follow the guide at: <A href="http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/2.0_Development_HowTo">http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/2.0_Development_HowTo</A>. My personal recommendation is to NOT use the <BR><A style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/" class="external text" title="http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/" rel="nofollow"></A>kdesvn-build script since it is currently quite outdated, but instead follow the guide at <BR><A href="http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Unstable_Version">http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Unstable_Version</A> to install the needed KDE4 development environment as a separate user, without changing your existing user settings. <BR><BR>As for how to best work in a way that is helpfully to all, I would say, to get started, simply build and work with Amarok2 and provide feedback, comments or patches back to me. In the Amarok2 source, the framework can be found at /src/servicebrowser and a few example implementations services are found in/src/servicebrowser/scriptableservice and /src/servicebrowser/magnatunestore. <BR><BR>For further communications, I would recommend that you send your mails to the amarok mailing list (<A href="mailto:amarok@kde.org">amarok@kde.org</A>, sign up athttps://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok) instead of directly to me. This will allow the other developers to give feedback and advice as well! Also, The other developer and I can be found on IRC channel #amarok at <A href="http://freenode.net">freenode.net</A>. Feel free to ask questions there about your ideas or about problems building KDE4 or Amarok2.<BR><BR>Best regards<BR><BR>Nikolaj<BR><BR><DIV><SPAN class="gmail_quote">On 3/24/07, <B class="gmail_sendername">William Shostak</B> <<A href="mailto:uili@tunenami.com">uili@tunenami.com</A>> wrote:</SPAN><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi,<BR><BR>I would like more information pertaining to how to get access to the<BR>framework you have started.
