Note: I'm moving this thread to linux-audio-user, because I think that's where this particular discussion belongs since the intention is to serve linux audio users. The topic is: a site to replace Dave Phillips' venerable, labor-intensive, hand-maintained sound applications page. It must allow visitors to easily add, update, and correct entries for linux audio/music apps. Probably also user reviews & commentary on applications. This site may or may not end up affiliated with the emerging linuxaudio.org website(s), it's too early to say. So it doesn't seem appropriate to keep this discussion on the consortium_p list.

Upgraded my account and all's well. summary and links: http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs/ Rough mock-up of a typical page: http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs/app_entry.html > I'm curious to see the current state of > affairs (so that we can direct people who visit the "applications" > page at www.agnula.org to this site :) and of course help where we > can). Help at this point would consist of: 1. Refining the requirements for an app-listing site, in terms of features and user interface. 2. Suggestions for a name for the site 3. Improved visual design. This should come after the requirements are worked out. 4. Improved app categorization. There were some comments suggesting that Dave's old categories can be improved. This can always evolve, but it would be nice to have a good starting point. To keep this discussion from getting confused, I will follow up with separate messages targeting points 1 and 2. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's SUPERVISOR SPARK!
