I can only second that. when implementing apps I had my doubts about not using a SQL database for a 2nd version of http://linux-sound.org/ - yet dokuwiki is well up to the job with the main advantage that data is stored in TEXT files: a format that any LAD can master with his/her favorite text-editor and very long living. Besides dokuwiki is joining social networks, there are plugins for DOAP, SOAP and FOAF support available or in the making. apps could make use some wiki-page-templates, a front-page and styling for the wiki: the current html-templates do not support newer wiki features eg. subscribe to changes via email and the CSS for print-preview is broken.. linuxaudio.org can not and will not compete with sf.net, wikipedia etc on automated tasks for end-users. If you require a database to index-plugins for quick search; that can be arranged. http://ladspavst.linuxaudio.org/ fi. uses mysql. I have not looked at your sf-project yet, but I think LV2 will make this superfluous: it provides RDF descriptions which can be SPARQL'ed or whatever in the semantic web-3.0: check out http://semweb.salzburgresearch.at/apps/rdf-gravity/download.html robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkibNVcACgkQeVUk8U+VK0LcqwCffvNiyLPNheAB/Iqw1wkmDsql sc8Anis/4uwGYEnuMnfVMMfTrh7ZBTAI =9Az0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
