But what will be the *authoritative* source of information currently available in [1]? I would certainly refuse to edit it in 2 places. In fact, I would refuse any violation of the DRY principle [2] (DO read it!).

ODS is a horrible thing to put under git. If a spreadsheet is really advantageous over list-like [1], I think it should be done in the wiki. Or added to Amarok source in some diff-able form, e.g. [3]. I will then create a script to export it to a spreadsheet for you. :-) [3] http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#tables > if you were on IRC you would know what I am doing right now and why... Sorry, I cannot be on IRC all the time. Its interactivity hurts my productivity during the day.
