I am a tech writer and linux system admin, who is interested in providing
assistance to the project - either by creating/editing documentation or
answering inquiries.

Thanks,

Hi Henry,

   This project has slowed down quite a bit.  However, there
is a nice new interface and metadata system available to those
that are willing to run the experimental version of the code.
If you look through the developers archive, you may see
that David Hough and I have been publishing source code
with arch(tla).    The experimental version has a much nicer
interface. You might want to describe the few easy steps to
get it working.  There is stuff in the mailing list about it.


On the technical documentation side, you could start by making a FAQ.
There are few typical installation snafus, like zinf finding
an old plugin directory or using an old database.

Thanks,
kris

Hi,

I agree, a HOWTO detailing how to get the experimental version of Zinf  
running on a computer would be great.

Probably wouldn't need to be much more then the details of all the  
necessary dependecies, how to get current version of from CVS or arch, and  
a few build instructions.

Here's a few notes that may help if you do want to do this, they're  
probably all mentioned somewhere in the mailing list archive as well.
- CVS doesn't include a pre-generated configure script, you need to  
execute autogen.sh to create it

- autogen.sh requires most (if not all, i can't remember) of the normally  
optional dependices to be installed

- to build the new stuff, you need to specifiy --enable-experimental as an  
option to configure

- To use the new stuff, you need to change the MusicBrowserUI option in  
~/.zinf/preferences. Instead of musicbrowser.ui, it should be  
musicbrowsermm.ui

- To run zinf from the build dir, so you don't need to do 'make install',  
execute ./base/zinf

- To debug, 'gdb ./base/zinf' doesn't work. Instead execute 'libtool  
--mode=execute gdb ./base/zinf'

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask. The answer may take a  
while though, as I at least have almost zero spare time at the moment  
(lots of university work to do).

Cheers,
David
