If people are willing to put a Free license on the projects, it may just take
some outreach from linuxaudio to the internet archive folks at archive.org.

I can't ever get a response to my emails from them but perhaps someone else
has some way to get a dialog going.

I am sure it can be done in an ad hoc fashion now but to be really sweet it
will probably need some coordination.

I've been for a long time "dreaming"/thinking of a business model for Ardour/Qtractor/<FLOSS-App> which would be an integrated service to upload final mixes and even entire projects to the cloud.
Gobbler is an example of that (along with project distributed sync), and other DAWs have integrated Soundcloud or Dropbox, just as an example.

An integration with Bandcamp would be great as it can be a source of incoming for both the uploader and the DAW project.

That would be really useful at least to learn, and many times on lectures and other situations I wish I had a well formated and big project in order to let the audience astonished.
