Lumiera Timeline First Draft
I’ve pulled together some drafts of my ideas for the design of the timeline portion of the Lumiera non-linear video editor (hopefully, the successor to Cinelerra).

C* Music Player Audioscrobbler/Last.fm patch
Frank Terbeck wrote a patch for cmus that adds support for Audioscrobbler/Last.fm. He doesn’t use/maintain it any more, and was kind enough to allow me to take it over for him. I’ve updated it to reflect the current changes to the cmus codebase. I plan to take some time this summer to get it ready for mainline cmus inclusion. Until then, it’s just a patchset.
