With ongoing preparation to "Integrate End User and Developer Resources at linuxaudio.org" (workshop @ LAC2007) we are proud to announce a first version of Dave's linux-sound application index as public-wiki: http://apps.linuxaudio.org/ this is by far no cute end-user resource portal yet, but a first step in merging data and setting up a prototype back-end! We are looking for interested people to contribute at various levels and suggest to use the mailing list for general discussion while keeping dokuwiki and style related requests at http://apps.linuxaudio.org/wiki:open_discussion Further [major] back-end development on http://apps.linuxaudio.org/ will probably not happen until LAC2007, but we are interested to tweak the look and feel, fix bugs, and collect feedback. We're also looking for qualified LAU's and LAD's to verify and maintain the current content with editor privileges, responsibilities and deeds. next up: docs.linuxaudio.org: - static documentation (docbook, LateX, [x]html) - slides and presentations (PDF, ps, png jpg,..??) - music (collaborate with or outsource to freesound et al.) - include (external?) video presentations, movies, etc - source code (coding examples: wiki-page; svn-mirror/server ??) for each hosted documentation there will be an option for user annotation(s). eg. wiki-discussion page, blog-comments, email-notify[-mailing-list]? - some of it will be merged with apps.linuxaudio.org which will provide automatic indexing; details remain to be discussed. some of the intended supported formats imply moderation / maintained upload or installation of static documentation. - the ring of maintainers could evolve with key-signatures, and parts of the system may become completely open. - suggestions: http://apps-devel.linuxaudio.org/wiki:suggest_doc ico & robin
