Great news, everyone! I just reached my old boss, Steffen Friedle, and I
have now permission to publish "Clockwerk", the multimedia compositing
editor that was part of the application suit develped by Mindwork under the
GPL. (This was the plan for a while, but we wanted to discuss some final
details first.) I have worked on this application from January 2006 to
around June 2008, mostly full-time, Axel and Ingo worked on other Mindwork
applications, but also on some aspects of Clockwerk. So this is quite a
headstart for any multi-track recording software. My plans are currently to
publish it on OS-Drawer. If that doesn't work out for whatever reason, it
will be berlios.de. I am really excited about this! I just need to prepend
GPL headers to most files and add some documentation. :-D
More pressure for Haiku Media Kit encoding...
Best regards,
