I started messing with some scripts a couple years ago and registered 
the domains musicvs.com and .org (as in "music versioning system" but 
I didn't want to reuse "MVS" even if it were available), but then my 
partner's heart problems got worse and my free time disappeared.  I 
haven't let them lapse if I remember right, but I'm still kinda 
picking up the pieces and doubt I'd get anything done with it for 
months at least, if not more.

It kinda started with my desire for a license for music that was like 
the GPL.  No, not the CC-Attribution-ShareAlike license, because that 
doesn't require you to release your source tracks.  I'm no lawyer, so 
rather than conceiving yet another new half-cocked license I started 
thinking about creating an environment where that kind of sharing 
would be easier.

My idea was basically to have projects on this site like cvs or svn 
would, but with a timeline and audio tracks instead of a bunch of 
directory trees, and participants could be granted read-only or 
check-in access (no access by default because of the bandwidth 
involved), they could upload their tracks in some lossless format, 
subject to CC-By-SA, and I was going to use one of the non-GUI sound 
libraries/languages to allow for effects and (though I hadn't heard 
of the term yet) Ajax waveform editing with streaming audio for 
previewing, and there'd be some way to distribute tracks or mixdowns 
publicly automatically via bittorrent, and it was all probably way, 
way more ambitious than I could have handled by myself.  

But maybe someday.
