 Yes, but I suggest creating a way to link them
without specifying their
real name directly...
Otherway, some crossed links which I have already created will be broken
as soon as we change the name of the page...
(see LA_SoundFonts for example)

In general (if TWiki is working as designed / intended) links to changed
pages are should change automatically.  Ahh, my memory is coming back --
maybe the exception is for pages that don't use real (T)WikiWords for
names (LA_LinuxAudio is not a real (T)WikiWord).  I'll try to confirm
that, if so, that's another argument to change the page prefix from LA_
to (e.g.) Audio  (in which case I'd rename the LA_LinuxAudio page to
something like AudioOnLinux) -- let me know what you think of that as a
prefix -- we might pick up a few stray pages that are already named
beginning with Audio, but they wouldn't be totally irrelevant.

 OK, I now also think that a special page should be created *only for 
sound cards*, and create a main separate site for AudioLinux if you want 
(even if I think that this topic is too general for a wiki in my opinion)

then, at the "sound cards" page, only soundcards should be listed, not 
all "LA_" sites
(that makes it more easy for readers... I have already found a person 
who didn't notice that the alsa matrix was linked at the site, as it was 
devoted to LinuxAudio in general...

so maybe a solution may be rename "LA_Linux Audio" to "LASoundCards"
and name every soundcard page as "LASoundCards_Manufacturer_Model"
(then make the engine search for LASoundCards_* pages)
for example: "LASoundCards_Creative_SBAudigyOEM"...

then all other LA topics, may be created with the syntax: "LATopic"
for instance "LASoundfonts"

and if you want to create a main site, LAMain may work

do you agree?

  Yes. I also
find you should explain how to create a new page fast. It's
easy but if you write it down (or put some links to do it), it will save
some time to contributors.

I need to run now, there are links to such information on WikiLearn --
I'll try to find one and/or repost the information here.
