Ipod development support

[Jochen Bauer]

Hi developers,

Is anyone currently developing the Ipod integration in amarok? Is there
anyone of you who wants to do such a thing anyway? Xevix, who did the most
of the ipod stuff so far said once that he even has no ipod to test the
things with.

When I made the decision to get a new device with a far better amarok
integration than my **** Ipod
(viewtopic.php?f=116&t=93302<http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=93302>),
the idea came to my mind that it would be helpful for the amarok developer
community to have an ipod device for testing. So I thought about donating my
ipod to you developers instead of making my annual money donation.

Now, the question to Markey, Mamarok, et al. is the following:

Is anyone of you devs anyway interested to work on a better Ipod support in
Amarok? If not, my Idea would not make much sense. But If you had any dev
who wants to do some ipod stuff and the only thing that prevents him or her
to do it is the fact that he or her does not own such a device to test the
stuff, I would be glad to donate my Nano 4G to him or her for working on it,
as soon as I get a new player.

Please don't see this as an offer to pay a developer for coding
[image: ;-)] That
is not my intention. But if there was no interest in the dev community to
develop the ipod integration I think it would be better to sell the ipod and
make a money donation as usual.

Please let me know, what you think about that, here or on freenode.
