I'm sorry if it came across like that. maybe you were mixing up issues:
lowlatency is a single page on a dedicated web-server - a bit overkill,
really.
Some of the content in quicktoots is certainly out-of-date. Old ardour
manuals get a higher search-engine ranking as new ones. Still, "There
are a lot of hidden resources there!" which we must not neglect.
In the long run I think that deleting them is better than keeping them
as is. However we can also see to update or migrate them:
fi. linking some of the quicktoots on a page with tutorials from LACs,
make them available as PDF and HTML etc.

I was only commenting on the items that I am in charge of. It seemed to
me that you were suggesting that the lau, quicktoots and lowlatency
vhosts were unnecessary time wasters and contained legacy content that
didn't need their own sub domain and should not exist on the lao
portal. On Mon, 2008-10-27 at 17:09 +0100, Robin Gareus

neither. If you read my comments closely my suggestion was to have the
sub-domains (vhosts) become entry points. The content there will be the
same (or an updated version).
My original judgment on lau/quicktoots/lowlatency was: "good as is -
maybe some minor modifications" until we have the time to revisit it.
IMO updating the front-page and lad.linuxaudio.org is much more
important; as is reorganizing the /members and updating the /music page.
Thorsten is right in saying that we should not
keep out-of-date
information and drop old material. We have more urgent issues on
linuxaudio.org than lau and quicktoots.
So are you suggesting that the sub domains are dropped completely or at
least not pointing to the existing content?
Hence I offered to remove them from the mix and host
them on my
own server where they were originally located. Therefore saving the lao
team the hassle of having to worry about them at all.
Now I really don't know what exactly you are proposing. Do you want me
to move all the content from the above domains to a new location in the
wiki and someone will make the subdomains point to the new location?
I can add the redirects but I won't do anything without consent.
If you don't mind just leave it as is. I'll need a few days to come up
with a proposal for lau/quicktoots but I wouldn't mind to introduce you
to the wiki, drupal or hear suggestions what linuxaudio.org could do
with the lau domain in your opinion.
IMO quicktoots is a very 90's webdesign; but I won't be able to do any
better anytime soon. My idea is to revisit the issue after we've decided
on a general interaction-design and style for linuxaudio.org
Meanwhile you could fix the dead-links on lau.linuxaudio.org to
linuxdoc.org in the "Before you start" section. and add a
http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html to lau and quicktoots.
let's follow the road of many small changes.
If that is what you are suggesting then I think it
would be easier if I
just move the content back to djcj.org.
Then you can remove the subdomains and not have to worry about them any
longer.
unless we move LAU over to djcj we'll have to worry about
lau.linuxaudio.org either way.
2c,
