Why that? Ok, it is minimalistic, but a full-screen video monitor
synchronized to the soundtrack is quite sufficient. I've done a few film
soundtracks like that.

Frozen in ice :-/ I'm too busy with work and don't have another film
project until the end of the year that would make scratch this itch.

There's a git repository and gitweb available on git.linuxaudio.org,
even though it's not been used for much yet.
Furthermore the wiki allows for personal pages. eg.
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/user/ppalmers
There's a GTD (getting things done) plugin for dokuwiki to schedule
tasks and organize collaborations. Surely it'll need some customizing
and a certainly a moderator who manages the project(s).
We're using < 20% of our bandwidth and download.linuxaudio.org currently
has ~100GB available. OTOH. archive.org would just as well be usable to
host the audio and project files.

Yeah, Mr. linuxaudio.org, what do you think?
