There's Planet LAD, made for this reason a while ago. RSS and a planet
is definition The way to do this, IMO. I am subscribed to it in my feed
reader and keep up to date. If everything interesting going on was
pushed on the feed, it would indeed be very nice...

Before I totally forget about it... I think it might be a very clever
thing to do to have some web-based thing (wiki or whatever, ideally a
social network kind of thing) were LAD people can notify of what they
are working on and what are their plans, so that it's easier to: a.
know about it and b. start cooperations, etc. I have a working plugin (called "dirg")
that provides a UI by hosting a
web server which you access in the browser. It provides a grid UI either
via a Novation Launchpad, or in the browser if you don't have a
Launchpad. Web UIs definitely have a ton of wins (think tablets, remote
control (i.e. network transparency), etc.)
I also have a complete LV2 "message" system based on Atoms which is
compatible with / based on the event extension. Atoms, and thus
messages, can be serialised to/from JSON (among other things,
particularly Turtle).
Any of them available to have a look at?
Currently dirg provides the web server on its own
with no host
involvement, but every plugin doing this obviously doesn't scale, so
some day we should figure this out... first we need an appropriately
high-level/powerful communication protocol within LV2 land (hence the
messages stuff).
Where do you stand with priorities now? That sounds like something
very much worth investing time in.
You see, one thing I'm puzzled about is that you have beginnings of
what could be significant part of a potentially successful cloud
computing audio app, and then you talk about how donations don't even
pay your rent :) For example, Dave is doing lots of stuff that I plan
to reuse, but I
only know it because I happen to lurk on #lv2 on freenode from time to
time, and the same goes for lots of stuff I'm seeing coming out
lately.
Yeah, been meaning to blog more, what can I say :)
I'll throw one out today about the UI stuff, anyway. Qt plugins embedded
in Ingen working at least somewhat via a library, with minimal nuisance
on either end.
