Hi Nedko, A while ago I proposed merging documentation efforts of the community, spearheaded by Dave's now unfortunately cancelled 2nd edition of his venerable book. Linuxaudio.org is already trying to head in this direction and we are currently in the process of assembling a team to utilize presently empty sub-domain docs.linuxaudio.org which ought to be perfect for this purpose (rather than hijacking lau faq site which has its own specific purpose). One possible scenario (which FWIW I very much favor) is to have a Wiki page that would sum up all of the projects listed on Dave's site as well as those that are also relevant but have not yet made it there. Using a similar template format we should provide a continuously updated consolidated resource for all Linux audio users, and more importantly all Linux distributions to reference. As such, we are also hoping to attract various distros to contribute to the same documentation project. So far goto10 guys (dyne creators) have expressed interest in the idea...
