[Starpy] Building a Celestial Jukebox

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@vr...>]

Hi all,

I had a little contract to do some StarPy work last week so I'm thinking 
I can afford to spend some time on the project this week for my Open 
Source day.  I'm thinking of doing a small demonstration application, a 
"Celestial Jukebox" of sorts, basically an application that lets you 
dial in, select a piece of media (songs, audio-books, Festival-read 
texts, whatever) and have the content play over your handset, with 
bookmarks, skipping and the like so that you can listen to a few dozen 
(or hundreds) of things, picking up each one where you left off, 
dog-earing "pages" when something interesting happens, that kind of 
thing.  The use-case being as a library interface for the CNIB or the 
like so that people could use regular phones to gain access to a 
reasonably usable media library.

I've also got a request in the queue to update the AMI to support new 
features in Asterisk 1.4.  Somewhere in there I should release 
PyOpenGL's next beta too :) ...

Which was all a preamble to ask if there are other things users of 
StarPy feel would be useful, given that I have about 5 hours to dedicate 
to the project on Friday.

Have fun,
Mike
