Hi,

I've been updating many of the software entries on the wiki, trying to find where projects are currently hosted, along with trying to update the dates, versions, and screenshots.

Something that would be useful, at least to me, would be to somehow group the software in a best effort.

For instance, most people would probably not find, say, audacity to be interchangeable with qmidiroute.

Furthermore this approach will hopefully be suggestive of what software works well together.

My proposed first draft categories would be

Scoring and composition

Sequencing and sampling

Routing and input processing

Recording and mixing

So for instance, rosegarden (scoring) can work with zynsubaddfx (sequencing) and pathage (routing) to output something that can go into ardour (mixing/mastering).  You could swap out rosegarden for say seq42 here or swap out pathage for qjackctl.

Hopefully an approach like this will help form the cognitive building blocks and organization of the software landscape.

Thanks.
