Regarding namespaces (nice example of coder speak not suitable for a general audience), I see it as a problem that linuxaudio.org web presence is so fractured already. > ..and we're not going to stop there. > > Here's a quick overview of HTTP services, vhosts and tasks.

I actually think portal shouldn't exist. Should be just a list of links reachable from linuxaudio.org . Like it is, but the link name "Portal" doesn't cut it. Maybe "Ressources"? > We're urgently looking for 2-5 Content Maintainers (and Guitarists) so > that some of us can take a holiday break. I suspect writing a long and partly confusing email while assuming everyone already knows what this is all about and what you want to accomplish is not the best way to invite contributors. > Besides in the longer term we're looking for volunteers to summarize or > comment on a LAD/LAU thread once in a while, and editors to write short > articles in the likes of kerneltrap.org. > > > * http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/ is actually the same as > http://apps.linuxaudio.org/wiki/ - vhosts will be merged, redirect.. One of the URLs will be dropped? Which one? I though one is an open wiki for content that is not necessarily tied to single applications and the other a directory of linux audio applications? > * http://lau.linuxaudio.org and http://quicktoots.linuxaudio.org/ > probably remain as is.

Ah yes, the fragmentation. _Hidden_ resources are great for Indiana Jones style explorers, I guess? ;) I would rather drop old material to have a chance of introducing something structured, where a newcomer would know where to start and had a chance of finding stuff without using a pit lamp. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
