We might still be in time to schedule one of those sessions in
Extremadura if there is interest.

I plan to go, but I cannot be 100% sure this early. I count on having
those days free and be able to attend, but it's too early to say for
sure. I guess many people might be in a similar situation.

I'm already redesigning goplay to handle that, but I'm not sure I'll
be able to really concentrate on it until Lenny is frozen. If there is
interest, we might discuss the overall new architecture, as I haven't
totally decided on it yet. It's probably gonna be based in plugins, as
I plan on having a visually-impressive opengl-based frontend sometime.
The web frontend might be another one too.
The problem with the web frontend is that the web connections are
stateless, and the search engine is a state machine, so something
should be done to make them match.

I don't have any experience with git. Since no one has spoken about
git lately again, I don't think anyone is working along that path
right now. Is there?

A wiki page might be an option.
