University Projects (was: Re: 2.4 planning/University Projects)

[Bart Cerneels]

Hi Stefan.

I can mentor and cerctainly if you decide to to either
- -) Remote playlists support (Ampache & last.fm Playlist)
- -) GPodder.net Podcast discovery and provider

I'm the author of the playlists framework in amarok.

Specifically the gpodder.net service/provider I'm really exited about
and feel can be a very good project for your small team.

You can chat with me about it on irc (Stecchino, find me in #amarok)
or this mail thread.

I'm in the same timezone as you (Belgium).
