Tony, right now we're generally being democratic.  :)  Did you read the page 
on the wiki that started this thread?

Yes.  And we've sorta decided to keep up with changes in the wxWindows API.  
:)  (No choice, really, if we want to update jazz and continue to improve it)

Very very very bad.  It's derived from wxTimer and doesn't scale well at all.  
The whole play/record backend needs to be rewritten to derive from wxThread 
where we can get real-time scheduling and so forth.  I lean towards ring 
buffers for the data exchange because they don't use mutexes.

Anyway, we've moved development discussion to sourceforge mailing lists so we 
can have their spam protection and archiving (I know jazzware.com archives 
the list too) and stuff.

The lists can be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=104252

CVS information is here:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=104252

Patrick Earl is the gatekeeper on CVS right now.  You'll find him on both 
lists, currently.  At least, I don't think he's gotten off this list yet.  ;)  
But he's definitely on the sourceforge list.
