Evaluate the following criteria on a scale from 1-5.  Add comments after each

OVERALL EVALUATION (1-5):
USEFUL TO OTHERS: 4
Very narrow audience.  The increase in value over a more traditional single-user
track editor is potentially small if the multiple editors doesn't work well as a
development model for songs, but also potentially large.
HAS SPECIFIC USERS: 4
"GarageBand users" is kind of vague, but I suspect I know a few people
personally who would like to use such software.
CAN BE SCALED UP TO PC-SCOPE PRODUCT: 5
There are existing products for Mac and Windows which have a subset of the
features of this program, so it can certainly scale up.
DIVISIBLE: 5
Plenty of components.
WELL DEFINED ENOUGH TO IMPLEMENT: 5
The description seems clear enough.
IN C++ ON LINUX: 5
C++ is a good choice for sound processing.

are sources clear for requirements?
is are there good criteria for testing?
Having pairs or groups work on the audio together and having it work as expected
seems like reasonable testing, but it would be nice if there were a more
structured way to test it.  Certainly there's single-user in different editing
modes, and also multi-user in traditional and segement-based editing.

Additional comments/changes after presentation:

The actual component design needs to be fleshed out *much* more.  The general
structure seems reasonable, but that's not detailed enough to really start
implementing.
