Sorry for the delay in the release of Alpha3. I didn’t have it at the point I wanted before I left for France. Now that I’m back in the states I’ve been playing catch up at work so Ampache time is limited. For real this time, hopefully very soon. Spocky has made some amazing progress on the Interface and the new theme (Greysme). As of this moment there is only a little more work on Democratic play and XML-RPC left, then I can get back to adding the new features. Once I get those done I will release Alpha3. By the way things are looking I’m most likely going to do one more alpha so that I can get in all the new features I’ve been wanting before shifting to a Beta stage where I’ll mostly be doing bug fixes.
As with many Open Source Projects, Documentation on Ampache is very lacking. There is a Wiki however not a lot has been written on it. If someone who’s got decent witting skills feels up to the challenge please contact me (vollmer at ampache dot org) and I can provide ‘moderator’ level access and answer any specific questions you might have. Thanks!
Donation money. First of all thanks to everyone who continues to donate to Ampache, I may have a full time job so money isn’t as much of an issue anymore but it is always nice to get a little extra something. Just so you know what your donations are paying for. First and foremost all developers or major contributors are given a piece of swag of their choice from the cafepress store. Second it helps pay for the Co-lo server that Ampache.org runs on. Which on that note I have to thank the other people I’m splitting the cost with as even though I use a vast majority of the server resources they have me pay the same amount as everyone else, a passive donation if you will. Thanks everyone for your support, I’d write Ampache either way, but the donations mean a lot.
