Hi
Russell,
The item about Ardour you mention concerns
me...primarily because I
don't wish
to violate any of these type of rules / laws/
policies; Is that really
applicable here? My intent is to describe how I
personally used this
application to create an Effects box...NOt
"how
one should use Ardour in the
intended, technically correct manner intended by
the Author(s)." But again, I
do not wish to piss anyone off here...that would
be kinda counter
productive! :) Perhaps Paul can offer his
thoughts??
As I understand it, Paul has been working on Ardour
more than full time
for at least the past 4+ years ...
*on_his_own_funding*! Along the way
he has made huge contributions to the linux audio
code base in the form
of extensive work on jackd, alsa drivers and various
libraries. Not to
mention the fact that his participation in the
community as a very
experienced and knowledgable programmer increases
everyone's knowledge
base.
Exactly! He's made a significant contribution and that
makes it very easy to understand his wish to control
the documentation for Ardour.
Perhaps one way to do
this would be to
write up docs on my use case, not publish it myself,
Not publishing them ourselves
is important. You
obviously appreciate his position.
but instead give it
to him to include in his docs as an example to put
in the appendix or
something. Maybe you could do the same with your
section on your use of
ardour. I'm not sure if Paul would accept it, but it
can't hurt to offer
it to him.
It might save you some work to ask him before you
write anything.
Good point. But, even so sometimes just going through the process of
writing something up helps to clarify my understanding. So, it might be
a good exercise even if it never sees the light of day.
