[linux-audio-user] Linux audio hardware market research [was: creating a wiki "soundcard experiences" site]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that there is a skeleton of a page where everybody should be able 
put their experiences about their cards
(see my post: [linux-audio-user] sound card linux documentation 
wiki+forum site),
I think that these pages will be visited (I hope...) by the owners of 
these cards, so adding there some kind of "optional form managed with 
php and mysql to be completed by the users" could help to do this survey 
to measure how big the linux audio market is.

is there any volunteer out there?
