To be honest, we've done nothing in several years, may as well just hand him 
the keys.  :)  If a working version of Jazz++ appeared, I'd almost definitely 
use it.  RoseGarden is fun, but last I used it it was still wildly unstable.

If you guys were interested in starting from scratch with PyQt4, I might be 
able to find some time to help, but don't make that decision expecting my 
help.  I have toyed with the idea of building a midi sequencer with python 
off and on, and can say that the libraries are definitely out there to do it.  
Mostly what I want is a drum machine that works more organically, but 
honestly I've picked up my bass twice in the last 6 months, and haven't 
picked up my guitar at all.  I wonder sometimes if I even have time to think 
anymore.  ;)

These days I'm in school full-time, working part time, my wife's working 
full-time (luckily all of my kids are in school, so we can find time for all 
this busy-ness).  I just put together a team to compete for the Google Lunar 
XPrize, and right this minute my two highest priorities are installing a 
dishwasher my wife's supposed to bring home any minute, and to finish my 
PyQt4-based accounting program so I can focus on the GLXP project some before 
school starts again.  I work at the school, so I've been spending the break 
working on this accounting program.

On the flip side, if you guys are interested in competing for the Google Lunar 
XPrize, I can definitely use some help in the programming end.  We can use 
all sorts of help (most of the programmers I initially recruited haven't done 
much), but for anything besides programming, there are logistic issues, 
particularly if you build parts that have to be shipped here to Austin.
