Implementation of CD stack collection view as a beginner

[Leon York]

I think Ian's answered the first question pretty much! The deadlines will
have to change. We are currently half way through my week 3 I think, so I am
currently about 2 and half weeks behind! But, I do think we should make some
goals. This is a little difficult at the moment for me. I'm currently
thinking about moving to Manchester (where there's more & higher paid work),
so I need to find out how many hours I'm going to be working a week before
planning everything.

I'm only a little ahead of you. I've been going quite slowly. I've managed
to set up the kdesvn-build script and install kde 4 and amarok. However,
amarok seems to be crashing each time I start it up, so still have to sort
that out!

We need to decide on the distribution of tasks between us, but first I think
we both need to understand what needs to be done. I definitely need to look
into plasma, especially the opengl plasma app. Also, I'm not sure how long
it's going to take to understand the amarok code that we will be using.

Anyway, we should save this for irc or gtalk. My irc name is leon. I
normally try and stay on #amarok and #amarok.dev on freenode.

Ian: I can't imagine the project interfering too much with the current parts
of Amarok.

Looking forward to talking to you soon,

Leon
