Something to consider: In "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" Eric Raymond puts forward the notion of "Release Early, Release Often" http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/ar01s04.html Now, I see a lot of artists seemingly afraid of this and even advice not to let the world see things before they are polished. I wonder if that advice might have been OK for the "all rights reserved" way of doing things but that we may gain from a release early, release often way of working in the world of art if we are working with Free licenses. I know it can be intimidating to let people see draft quality work, but aren't artists supposed to be risk takers? (I know because I put out daily progress when I do NaNoWriMo and if anything is likely to be of sub par quality, that is right there in the running I can tell you. Could it not be that your rough work might inspire someone to make a better finished work than you ever could with a particular piece where your finished piece would not provide similar inspiratoin? (Ouch - I lost a good thought while I was writing down that last point... I hate it when that happens. The brain gets two thoughts at once but by the time you finish recording the first, the second has managed to evaporate...) > > I'm happy for anyone to develop on top of this, but am reluctant to put > it up on the collaboration site, for fear of diluting the site - there > already seem to be several 'starts' that don't seem to have much being > added to them :( I have been thinking about this as well. Along the same lines interestingly enough. I seem to remember somewhere reading about some fail early, fail often strategy and I think that might be relevant here. Might it be that putting up a lot of possibilities and hoping for a one in ten or one in a undreg success rate might prove more productive than trying to make something of every thing someone puts up? I welcome thoughts along both of these lines. all the best, drew _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
