However, maybe the question is how linuxaudio.org can support and
stimulate people and teams to become a package maintainer for a audio or
multimedia packages. I focus mainly on Debian and derivatives, but I can
imagine other projects for Fedora and OpenSuse for instance, also could
use some package maintainers.
I say
'one artist, one package' ;)
or
'one linux audio user, one audio package' ;)

I think you are missing my point. I am not
proposing to start a replica
of
the Debian Multimedia initiative under the
auspices of linuxaudio.org.
Rather, I am proposing that their efforts are somehow integrated into
linuxaudio.org online resources, whether that be via a webpage that
provides
additional info on the initiative, mirroring of packages, dev mailing
list,
etc.
Ultimately, the goal is to minimize fragmentation of supporting
information
and therefore improve ability to cross-pollinate
latest findings (e.g.
troubleshooting particular rt-kernel release, compile issues on certain
platforms, etc.), minimize redundancy, improve cross-distro transparency.
Hey Ico,
I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean. While I would
encourage the people from the Debian Multimedia Team to subscribe to a list
like linux-audio-tuning to discuss tuning issues and grab ideas from here,
I don't see how we could provide mirroring or any kind of services like
this (we have limited resources), and even if we could, I don't see why
*we* should do it.
If I understood the original mail correctly, this initiative is meant to be
integrated to *Debian*, and is meant to make the *Debian* distro better,
because it is *Debian* which has issues with linux-audio. Why should
linux-audio chime in ?
