Hi! Tim Janik and I are currently working on sorting out the remaining issues until we can release BEAST -> http://beast.gtk.org which is at this point really useful for creating music already. If you want to hear my first approach of doing a song with BEAST, you can find it here: -> http://space.twc.de/~stefan/music/liquid_life.ogg At this point, we're increasingly looking for people which point us out to release critical bugs or lend us a hand at doing the remaining polishing. For instance, if anybody wants to contribute another song, icons, documentation, now would be a good point in time to do it. You can build BEAST from CVS, as we do not plan to release a tarball until we're fairly certain that it is stable for end-users. As a side note, both of us will attend the LAD conference, so I'm looking forward to meeting everybody who is there personally. Cu..
