Dear ShowQ-users,


it appears that ShowQ is a very useful piece of software - at least
people using it seem to agree with that statement. Still, ShowQs future
is not saved as there's no C++-developer in reach caring about it.

So, instead of just making it public that ShowQ will soon fall out of
debians repositories if nothing changes here (which would prevent most
linux-audio-users from even getting in touch with that great cue-player) I
ask YOU: What can we do to save ShowQ?

Well, all I can offer to help besides making the problem public is some
(symbolic amount of) payment.
I'll promise 10 Euro for every bug that I reported on the debian
bugtracker to be fixed.
Finding a new developer for ShowQ (before fixing the bugs :) ) or
finding a developer that delivers another software as a
drop-in-replacement for ShowQ that is equal or even better than the
original software is worth 30 Euro to me.

Drop-in-replacement means:
* Native GPLed linux software with a GUI
* jack support
* ogg/flac/wav-support
* programmable start/stop/crossfade/fade-in/fade-out/fade-to-level
* drag audio-file from f.e. file-manager to cue in the application
* use the software in a show with just pressing space


I hope that some people would join me paying some money to make it a
little more attractive...

Greets!
Mitsch
