This would also be a possible solution. I haven't looked at the code
myself, so I don't know how complex it is. But knowing the existing
code, I can;t imagine it being any more complicated than what we have
now...

Let's keep communication on public channels. As the students are
working on Amarok, and Amarok is developed publicly and in the open,
part of integrating into the community is using the established and
working communication methods. Taking things off list and private will
serve no one's ends and raises the possibility of projects stalling.
