Hi All,

Just wanted to mention that I'm finally done with many things that
have taken up a lot of my time and I'm back on blue work.  Right now
blue2 is coming along and I have a list of things that still need to
be implemented.  I'm taking care of them a little each day and
progress is good.  I am hoping to get some sort of beta out in two
weeks.  At that point I'll be looking forward to hearing everyone's
thoughts on blue2. =)

The first release of blue2 will be pretty much just have the same
features as 0.125.0 but with the new window system and reorganized
code.  blue2 will also have some issues I'm sure and I've had to defer
some of the more rarely used features until I can work out how to
implement them.  After the first release of 2.0, I'll also continue to
work on internal restructuring and reimplementing of code.  It'll take
some time to be completely in-line with Netbeans RCP framework but
it's something that will be ongoing work.

I'm also starting to brainstorm to try to work out a plan for things
to work on.  Working out MIDI input is high on my list (as is all the
things that go with that including instrument meta data for notes), as
is working on the issues in the issue tracker.  I did have the thought
today that blueLive needs to be completely reworked.  I am thinking of
changing a number of things around with it, and perhaps making it have
an interface like BlueSynthBuilder with the widgets being able to be
used in global context.  Another thought was to have score objects be
boxes and be somewhat PD-like, with triggers and timers, etc.  I'm
thinking going down either of these routes can potentially be a lot of
work, so it's still a brainstorming exercise.

Another thing on my mind is samples in all of their usages: samplers,
loops, waves, etc.  The idea in my mind is adding features to make
solved-problems solved, in other words making tools in blue that will
solve a usage scenario so that we won't have multiple ways to do it or
require heavy Csound knowledge if we can just solve the problem once
and have it pre-built and ready.

I'm also thinking of extending blueShare to be more of a community
site.  I'm not sure what will happen yet, but finding ways to make
this a bigger community is of interest.

Anyways, looking forward to getting this all going and of course will
be excited to see what everyone does with blue!

Thanks,
steven
