Greetings all, Please pardon me for reopening an issue that may have been already addressed, especially considering that for all intents and purposes I may have appeared to have been very inactive on these lists lately. FWIW, I have been lurking around, but amidst moving and starting a new job, time has been truly a precious commodity. But I digress... It appears to me that there were at least a few members of the LAD/LAU list who have expressed interest in having LAD site somehow integrated in the Linuxaudio.org. I believe that this would be a very encouraging step towards consolidating online LA resources into one site which would IMHO ultimately make LA users' lives a lot easier as well as make the overall LA scene look more professional to the outsiders/potential adopters. I see this kind of an idea as a first step towards a much more demanding goal--integration of other online resources, i.e. Dave's LA software page. I could see this integration happening via a single Wiki page that would contain detailed info/screenshots/documentation/mailing-list and other pertinent info for every LA software available out there. Naturally, linking these lists is also a possibility, yet the very thought of having one place with unified appearance that would provide all the necessary info, including documentation, application-specific mailing lists etc. seems IMHO truly inspiring. Such a project obviously bears a huge overhead. I can also see devs objecting to the redundancy of information that may be already available on their software's dedicated website. The solution to both problems would be asking devs and/or their project maintainers/helpers to assist with the generation of their software's Wiki page which should adhere to certain predetermined standards and then also providing a link to their original project's page. Yes, there would be some redundancy, but a vast number of projects could greatly benefit from such a consolidation, including one of the most important, yet often neglected aspects--proper documentation. For this reason, I would like to use this opportunity to possibly elicit a discussion on this matter and hopefully get the ball rolling :-).
