- Things are very much at a planning stage right now, but this is the place for a future version of Libre.fm running on a new codebase (this project).
- Libre.fm is effectively a silo (other than Last.fm which it talks to, although federation with other instances has been possible for a long time)
- Libre.fm has over 372,000 registered users and 291 million scrobbles.
- Libre.fm should be a more active citizen in federated social web.
- GNU FM is built on 2009 era PHP frameworks and technology. We can probably keep going with it but we can probably encourage more developers using modern web frameworks
- GNU FM relies on frameworks and libraries that are no longer being maintained
- GNU project doesn't handle web applications well, is more focused on other pieces of free software
- A new project, free from the GNU project ownership will give us new opportunities
- The license -- GNU AGPL 3.0 or later
