i don't think there was any intention to actually LOSE material, just to make decisions about what to include in a mix for potential release as a communal effort. everything will still be available for alternate mixes by individuals as they please -- and, of course, any individual's mix could end up being a favourite of the group anyway.

i'm not clear on how you're proposing to use .html files.

i use ardour. yes, it can do sample-accurate placement. in my README, i've suggested mm:ss.sss just because it's easier for humans to read. however, i'm entirely happy to work with sample-stamps.

other opinions?

personally, i'm not interested in MIDI -- and a lot of us play acoustic instruments, for which that is not functional. we'd also have to start dealing with issues of soundfonts, etc. to have a good idea of what each person is doing with MIDI. however, having said that, i don't have any rabid objections to people uploading MIDI files. just realize that utilizing that material requires those of us who use audio-only tools to re-formulate our workflow. that may not happen.

glad to see this all getting hammered out!
