I agree completely. I think it would be a very valuable resource to  
getting new users (think os x and windows) acquainted with amarok.

but i also think we can;t even start thinking about this until at  
amarok 2 is more stable and the features have settled down. so at  
least not until august/september imho. also, rokymotion should  
definitely be involved with this :)
