Welcome Holger.
To discover new applications, there luckily is
linuxaudio.org's appdb.
Unfortunately many of the apps aren't actively developed, some are
nowhere to be found because the homepage has vanished.
I just started editing the wiki and wanted to know, if we could add a
tag, which in some way makes it possible to see which projects are still
active or which not.
You're welcome to do so. - You can just add a tag like
{{tag>UNMAINTAINED}} or {{tag>DEAD_LINK}} (A tag in dokuwiki may not
contain whitespaces) or a combination of these {{tag>UNMAINTAINED
DEAD_LINK}} ;) - If the tag is used the first-time it will be rendered
in RED - click on the link and create/save an index-page (from a
template) for this tag.
eg. http://apps.linuxaudio.org/apps/all/ubuntustudio
http://apps.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/linux_audio_bundles_distributions
We can assign images to certain tags - There are already a couple for
JACK, LV2, DEB, RPM, etc. but this is unfinished work.
A possible solution could be to include some mechanism
to show which
packages were updated in the last couple years by including a timestamp
for the last release (like proposed in the wiki) in the app entry and to
add an to the listings, which shows projects updated in the last 12 months.
We had the idea to use lsm files to grep version information from, or
provide a wiki META-INFO for source-repos - the problem is that these
automatic-polling mechanisms are very prone to spamming.
I'd like to mess with the wiki some more, but
first I'd like to have a
possibility to mark those old projects...
You should be able to help yourself already.
If you have a local account (no openID) I can add you to the editor's
group which makes few things (batch uploads, changes etc) easier.
I was planning an update of the content of apps/wiki for months already;
What about we share the workload and do it in October.
It won't be too hard to make a script that checks for dead links and
auto-tags apps-pages. - I'm going to resume
http://mir.dnsalias.com/blog/linux_sound_tags . I made a few scripts to
mass-rename tags and categories for dokuwiki; but it's still 200
tag-names to walk-through and I'm rather busy ATM as well ;(
keep in touch,
robin
