Rosegarden - Project of the Month (SourceForge)

SourceForge has named Rosegarden the December 2006 project of the month. The article includes an interview with the developers. "Why and how did you get started? Chris: The first Rosegarden project was a university project that started at the end of 1993 at the University of Bath. I just kept working on it after I left university. The current program is a separate project that we made a fresh start on (complete with SourceForge page!) at the start of 2000. But we already knew each other by then and had been working together for a while." (Found on KDE.News)

In the future, please provide the most basic information in the story summary (lede), so that readers don't have to load up the article to find it. As in, for example:
SourceForge has named Rosegarden, an free audio editing and composition system, the December 2006 project of the month.

It's reasonable to assume that readers of LWN know what things like Linux and Sourceforge are, but it's not reasonable to assume that we are familiar with any random free-software program not part of a core GNU/Linux system.

Fair point, but Rosegarden is pretty well-known. I'm guessing the author just assumed that most people had heard of it.

Rosegarden recently switched their buildsystem to CMake, and I guess they
are the first project which switched from Scons to CMake.
