Hi Ico :)
thank you for answering my request so quickly. The first thing I've done
was to write Jaromil on Tue, 12 Dec 2006. Now I've to learn how to use
mailing lists, something new for me, that won't get easier by my broken
English ;).
Linux isn't an OS for people who simply want a tool but Computers are
tools at first. Open Sources won't help users, what they need are
manuals including really detailed indexes, something unknown among
Linux. I please the audio-community not to become "stallmanic", like the
majority of leading Linux-Distributions. Every effort with wiki is useful.

conjunction to project's homepages is IMHO not enough. [...]" (Ivica Ico

That's correct.

I'd say that wikipedia should be used as a summary page, rather than an
exhaustive resource with app-specific documentation. So, I guess in that
respect I do agree with your ideas. However, I do not see it as an
exhaustive documentation resource for every app.
Another observation is that while most of the apps have decent documentation
on their homepages, none of it is standardized in terms of
layout/cross-referencing/etc. and therefore an easy read. This is where our
documentation page could shine providing a streamlined/standardized
resource. More so, if we generate such a resource, I am convinced that a
quorum of Linux audio users who may not be able to contribute code, may be
more willing to donate their time in maintaining/contributing to the
documentation project, especially if the format for such contributions is
demystified with appropriate templates. Ultimately, this would also help
project developers not worry as much about the documentation, so it would be
a win-win situation for all. Heck, in due time, we may even attract some
financial support from various commercial distros in order to maintain this
distro-agnostic resource.
For the aforesaid reasons, I feel that a wikipedia page in conjunction to
project's homepages is IMHO not enough. That is not to say that we shouldn't
have one, but I simply see it as a summary resource which leads user towards
the real documentation site.
Best wishes,
Ico
Hello :)
I've got some trouble with Dynebolic and Linux in general.
Relevant for my question(s) is this hardware and Software:
Mobo ASRock K7VT2, Chipset VIA KT266A, AMD Athlon 900MHz

Question(s) about Version 2.2
If I try to run Ardour (by the Terminal) while Jack is running the
following messages are displayed:

In Version 1.4.1 Jack doesn't recognize the MIDI of the game port and
USB but if I run Ardour there the following will be displayed:

How can I get Ardour running in Version 2.2?
More questions are already loaded ;).

This was not posted because of copyright/IP reasons, but rather the business
model that the article implies Novell may be pushing for.

Linuxaudio.org has a small active staff and until very recently it was
predominantly a one-man show. I am hoping to change this as for one I am
really getting burned out and two, I want to utilize my energy on other
pressing and likely more important matters, such as incorporation of the
organization as a non-profit entity and fund-raising. Unfortunately, even
though we had a successful first round of recruiting volunteers, we are
hardly at a point where I can say linuxaudio.org has adequate staffing.
Regarding consistency, I am very much interested in that but putting some
more thought into it (which was in part inspired by the discussion on the
consortium list), I feel like total standardization may not be a good idea
not only because some of the consolidated websites' webmasters do not feel
inclined to do so, but also because we want the consortium to also reflect
the freedom and variety Linux audio offers. Hence, standardization as such
will likely come in something more subtle (i.e. logo plus perhaps some kind
of a subtle corner css menu thingy). That being said, we've not tackled this
yet, hence your contributions/ideas are more than welcome.
Best wishes,
Ico
Adoption of linux-sound.org into linuxaudio.org is a continuing standing
offer, but obviously this is something that the community needs to embrace,
rather than having a hostile takeover which will leave a sour aftertaste in
everyone's mouths.
Provided that the community is fine with this, the proposed course of action
would be as follows:
1)generate apps.linuxaudio.org subdomain and port over a summary list of the
applications (similar to Dave's format)
2) plug every listed app to the docs.linuxaudio.org wiki where we would
build largest and most comprehensive documentation database
Alternately, we could simply do everything inside docs.linuxaudio.org, but I
feel that the usefulness of Dave's pages would be somewhat lost unless the
docs would also have a nice categorized listing of available apps.
Best wishes,
Ico

Hi Nedko,
A while ago I proposed merging documentation efforts of the community,
spearheaded by Dave's now unfortunately cancelled 2nd edition of his
venerable book. Linuxaudio.org is already trying to head in this direction
and we are currently in the process of assembling a team to utilize
presently empty sub-domain docs.linuxaudio.org which ought to be perfect for
this purpose (rather than hijacking lau faq site which has its own specific
purpose). One possible scenario (which FWIW I very much favor) is to have a
Wiki page that would sum up all of the projects listed on Dave's site as
well as those that are also relevant but have not yet made it there. Using a
similar template format we should provide a continuously updated
consolidated resource for all Linux audio users, and more importantly all
Linux distributions to reference. As such, we are also hoping to attract
various distros to contribute to the same documentation project. So far
goto10 guys (dyne creators) have expressed interest in the idea...
Best wishes,
Ico

Apologies for the cross-posting -- the consortium listserv that is hosted by
Agnula server continues to refuse forwarding e-mail to its members...
Apropos CD covers for the vol.1, how about taking the image from the
http://lau.linuxaudio.org/faq/ ? IMHO it best portrays the idea of "Tux
Power" without even having to explicitly state the subtitle. So, we could
have the subtitle on the side and the back but perhaps not on the front side
of the cover? Or if we do have it on the front, perhaps making it
intentional small and inconspicuous?
