Among our #discussion topics: 1. #Stakeholders in music and what happens to them? 2. #Production of music 3. #Consumption of music 4. New #technology out there!

{colourlovers} is an API client for colourlovers.com

The package: cran.r-project.org/web/packages/c… (on CRAN but could use an XML -> xml2 conversion and a refresh to make sure it's still up to date).
