Speaking of backgrounds and consolidation, perhaps it is time to start talking about a standardized template theme for all websites so that they all look as if they do belong to the same incentive? Ico

Thank you Patrick for your thoughts on this matter. I would, however, like to hear from others before we put this matter to rest. I still feel that we could take on such a move without necessarily compromising the "individuality" of each subdomain/project... There are also other pressing matters I would like to bring to everyone's attention: 1) As some of you have already pointed out docs.linuxaudio.org is "under construction." This obviously means we are seeking volunteers to undertake on this laborious but also very important project. We should probably dedicate a group of volunteers who would discuss a scope and function of this subdomain. For this reason, consider this an open call for 3-4 volunteers interested in this project. 2) To those of you who are maintaining various sub-domains, there is a dire need for content clean-up. There is a bunch of conflicting info on various pages, as well as tons of obsolete info, all of which not only makes no sense but also portrays a very bleak picture of linux audio scene. If some of you feel like this is too big of a task to tackle, we should again make an open call for additional contributors/maintainers... FWIW, I just spent a couple hours this evening trying to update lao layout and make it more "stylish." Hope you like the change (hint: the site and the framed version of the logo now share the same style)... Finally, I may appear to be "less responsive" to your e-mails for the next couple days (possibly weeks, but I sure hope not) due to family-related matters. Until my life returns to normal (whatever that means), I'll do my best to keep up with lao stuff. In the meantime, I ask for your patience, understanding, and most importantly continued dedication to our cause... Many thanks!
