Hello all Users & Devs of linux-audio-land,
Moving forward from the topic on Aeolus and forking projects, perhaps it is
wise to look at how the community as a whole can grow from this situation:
1) It seems the frustration of forks is mainly due to lack of
communication.
2) Had appropriate communication been in place, patches could have been
merged.
3) If 1) and 2), then the community flourishes as a whole.
In the Aeolus thread on LAD, Michel Dominique wrote (and I feel its
relevant here):
"That imply we must communicate more with each other"
"I think this is a big problem, and not only related to Fons work, or the
LAD, but to the whole community."
One think I have done is to add in the About box a few buttons to launch
things like the mail list subscription page, mailto and irc.
The function look for $BROWSER, if it doesn't exist, the user get the
opportunity to set it, and the browser will do the rest.
It is too early now for me to know if it make a big difference. This will not
replace an email list, but can be a good complement, and make life
easier for someone that want to get in touch with the development, or
have an issue, a comment or whatever to ask or report.
And well, this is oriented first to users. Developers must be able to find
my email on the website or the source code...
The mailing list you're reading from now is one of the central hubs for the
community:
The -developers list is the perfect place to announce projects, forks,
patches etc.
+1
The -users list is good for asking users and
interested parties questions.

I will try to announce more patches / code, to contribute upstream, and
hopefully benefit the community.
Cheers, -Harry
