Since we have no control over Patrick's offsite content, after some courtesy redirect period of time we should remove that and other subdomains altogether, together with other defunct pages. I also like ready redirecting smaller pages to the wiki as you suggested.

Hi *,

There's a whole lot of v-hosts below linuxaudio.org. The recent
migration of vhosts gave rise to rethink and hopefully consolidate others.

Let me first list the "good ones" and them move on to suggestions for
the cruft. Please comment on my suggestions there. If you don't, you
forfeit your right to complain later :-)


== The good ==

http://www.linuxaudio.org/
  mostly OK - it's a drupal that could use some lovin'.

http://portal.linuxaudio.org/
  301 -> http://linuxaudio.org/resources
  historical URL.

http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/
  ~15 regular editors and content-maintainers
!

  historical URL; the wiki started as "apps"

http://lac.linuxaudio.org
  the conference collections
  could use some promotion from the www front-page.
  lots of good resources - proceedings, videos from presentations etc.

http://planet.linuxaudio.org/
  feed aggregation of user-blogs
  The planet features two hidden "moons" that will need announcement:
   http://planet.linuxaudio.org/bugs/
   http://planet.linuxaudio.org/apps/

http://forum.linuxaudio.org/
  307 -> http://linuxmusicians.com/

  we agreed on redirecting and supporting linuxmusicians

== The questionable - vhosts that may need work ==

http://lad.linuxaudio.org/
  curre!
ntly a
simple stub-page for LADs.
  ?? -> redirect to http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/lad ??

http://git.linuxaudio.org
  outdated endeavor from 2008 by yours truly. The idea was to track
  and mirror code repositories. Since superseded by github et al.
  ?? -> should be removed !

http://lau.linuxaudio.org/
  302 -> http://linux-audio.com/
  Linux Audio Users Guide - some useful information (read-only curated
  by P.Shirkey)
  IMHO the content of this site should be merged into
   http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/
  and
   http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/newbie
  to allow to being updated by the LAU community.

  The conten!
t was
deleted from LAO on April/22/2012 after it
  was migrated to linux-audio.com by its maintainer.
  We do have a backup in case s.o want to keep it alive at LAO

  ?? keep redirect | use wiki ??

http://quicktoots.linuxaudio.org/
  301 -> http://quicktoots.linux-audio.com/
  Tutorials - mostly pre 2004
  the up-to-date stuff should probably go to flossmanual.net

  the content was deleted from LAO on April/22/2012 after it
  was migrated to  linux-audio.com by its maintainer.
  We do have a backup in case s.o want to keep it alive at la.org
  ?? -> should be removed ??

http://ladspavst.linuxaudio.org/
  pretty m!
uch
dysfunct site of Linux VST Compatibility
  not sure what to do with it. - previously maintained by Tim Orford
  ??

http://lowlatency.linuxaudio.org/
  low-latency info for linux-2.2 and linux-2.4
  some general good info but pretty much outdated.
  it's a single page in that v-host. Should become a wiki-page
  ?? 301 -> http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/lowlatency ??

http://awards.linuxaudio.org/
  an initiative started by P. Shirkey in 2009 - seems dead
  ?? not sure ??

  ?? not sure - delete it ?!



== Misc/other good v-hosts ==

http://robin.linuxaudio.org/
  things where I keep tempoprary stuff and do site development things
  the docroot 307 redirects to my website

http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org
  excellent LA software - more bang per byte.

http://stats.linuxaudio.org/
  server statistics
  ?? should those be password protected ??
  some of the AWstats may be used to track users (e.g. top 10 host list)
