[maemo-developers] mafw-lastfm 0.0.1

[From: Claudio Saavedra]

[Since this is the initial release, I think it's OK to make a heads up
in this mailing, in case anyone else is interested in cooperating with
this project]

mafw-lastfm is a last.fm scrobbler for maemo devices using the Media
Application Framework, like the N900. This is its the initial release.
It basically works: it sets your playing-now status and it scrobbles.

For setup instructions, consult the README file.
