Code (and other stuff) in Launchpad projects

• novacut-artwork - various assets for the stunning Novacut brand identity design by IZO

• novacut-prototypes - where we rapidly prototype and measure time savings of UI variations before doing full implementations

• novacut - The main editor component (UI and renderer)

• dmedia - Dmedia, our anwser to media asset management

• filestore - hashing protocol and FileStore for Dmedia

• microfiber - lightweight, high-performance CouchDB adapter for Python3

• usercouch - Python3 library for starting per-user CouchDB instances

• userwebkit - Python3 library for building WebKitGtk apps that talk to CouchDB

• dc3 - a DBus service similar to desktopcouch (not that Dmedia now starts CouchDB itself, but we'll continue to maintain dc3 as a option for people migrating from desktopcouch)

ohloh is a cool way to visualize and track our progress, and there is a page for each of the 6 modern Novacut components (dc3 is basically being replaced by usercouch, so dc3 was left out):

• dmedia

• filestore

• microfiber

• usercouch

• userwebkit
