Rhythmbox GSoC

The coding period for this year Google Summer of Code has just started. I haven't blogged yet about Rhythmbox GSoCs, now is a good time to do it ;)

This year, 2 students will be hacking on Rhythmbox. Paul Bellamy (who I am be mentoring) started hacking on synchronization between Rhythmbox and media players.
