Sounds like fun!  We can maybe do a live FluidSynth stream at some point
with some demo songs around release time ;)

Thanks for mentioning that.  I was trying to figure out how to get
around the mirror redirect.

Yes yes!  The more the merrier.  A start is to get you a subversion
account.  Send me an email directly with your desired login/pass.

Your work on the sequencer timing looks like some good stuff.  Glad to
have you on the team.

That is great, I didn't realize that the Debian package had been
abandoned.  I guess there has been so few releases in the past few
years.  Its nice that that is changing.

Since there are a number of individuals who have recently become
interested in FluidSynth development, I think it would be a good idea to
introduce ourselves a bit and mention what interest we have in
FluidSynth and how we would like to help out.  I'll post a new email
thread to this effect, to get things started.

Cheers.
