We've been taking about 1 week to cover each agenda item, and there are 20
items in total. So I would expect at least another 18 or so weeks, let's
make it an even 4 months, before we wind up the initial pass at answering
questions.
Then we may need to loop back and revisit some of these items. Say that'll
take another month. After that we'll need to write the actual requirements
document, and review that. Probably another month there. So, in about 6
month's time we'll be ready to go into the design phase in the MMA.
The design could take as long as a year, if we're talking about sample code,
test harnesses, documentation, etc, etc. Design is to be followed by public
review, which would be several months... say 6 months.
Grand total, worse case, I think version 1.0 is about 2 years away.

Although this is slightly off-topic, I figured it'd make sense to post it
while the group is relatively quiet.
I'm just wondering how long everyone thinks it's going to take to design and
implement GMPI (the first version, at least.) The reason I ask is that I
have been tempted to work on my own, simple plugin interface (as described
previously), until GMPI is ready to be used. But I'm reluctant to do this,
for the obvious reason that something better than my own efforts is going to
come along - and I don't want to use any of the other projects similar to
GMPI, simply because I feel that as I'm part of the discussions on GMPI, it
fits in with my own program. If that makes sense?
For the time being, it's not really an issue - getting the internals of the
program working is. But it'd be useful to have a rough estimate of when GMPI
will be ready, even if it's just a number of years or quarters.
In the meantime, I can probably just improve my tracker-style music program,
experiment a bit with VST etc. and I may write my own primitive plugin
interface, for now. Or, I could write my own plugin interface, and later use
GMPI as a plugin to that :)
Anyway, let me know your thoughts. It's probably still too early to even
have a rough estimate of when GMPI will be ready, but still...
