Idea for the porting

Hi,

Today I read a harsh discussion on #amarok.devel. I'm not going to talk 
about it, but about an idea I get. Please tell me whether you agree on 
it, or not.

I think we should port it first as a minimal version that...play music. 
We know then that the core works and then port the other parts.

It makes sense to me for 2 reason:
1) we can focus on one unique plugin and port it thoroughly, not just by 
translating (which is really bad in term of code maintainability)
2) We can spot the plugins/code parts that doesn't seem relevant *and 
open a discussion* about it: is it still relevant?

For splitting the job, and having a full port (and maybe maintainers?) 
it would be, IMO, a real gain.

Cheers,
Olivier
