Yeah, that's why I was asking. Let me ask it again in a different way:
What is the simplest, easiest, fastest way to get us from "hey, let's do
this" to actually making music?

See my postings detailing both the steps and the sequence. Generated
little comment so I assume little interest.
Your description was kind of verbose, and had a lot of steps, so it looked complicated to
me, which is why I was asking for something simple.
Re-reading it now, it sounds like just a shared FTP site or WIKI, perhaps, with a bunch of
ogg files in it (isolated tracks and mixes), which certainly is simple. The only
"process" it would need, would be a convention on file naming, which you
suggested too.
Quixits work pretty much like that too: you download the "mix pack" with the
samples, make your track out of those, and then upload it back into that shared FTP site
directory. That sure is simple.
The ccmixter/cchost approach might be a bit more user-friendly, but, then again, we're
linux users, so who needs user friendly? Making sense out of directory trees full of and
script files is what we do every day.
So are you suggesting a directory tree on a shared FTP site then, something like:
song_or_project_name/
tracks/
loops/
samples/
mixes/
Or just do that with file naming instead of subdirectories?
Then people can download what they want, make mixes, record new tracks, add loops or
samples, etc, as they like, and then just upload whatever they did?
Finally, are you able to host this somewhere?
