i cant do much developing currently
(need to get rid of this ninjam addiction :)

my plans for ninjam are currently to add some code to make it sync to
jack_transport.

while this looks trivial, its not really trivial, because jack_transport
must sync to ninjam transport.
and making ninjam the transport master will render ardour pretty
useless. 

i will however make this fly soon.



so how shall we proceed ?
the problem is that the ninjam server must run on a machine with some
moderate upload bandwidth, which i dont have.
so if we want to change/implement another ninjam server we have to make
sure we got a testing environment...

i am tempted to write a gtk client for ninjam, because i consider this
ncurses code quite unmaintainable...
we also need a tool, which converts the recorded session to something we
can actually edit on linux.

converting it to an ardour session looks like the way to go for me...
ok guys... lets try to get on with this...

it such a cool idea...
