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?
I love the idea of a linux-only, by-sa instance of cchost software, but I don't have
the money pay for hosting something like that right now. I looked at the cchost docs and
it seems pretty straightforward, so I'd be willing to install and set it up if someone
wants to give me a login to a web host account somewhere. Then again, everyone on this
list is probably more than completely qualified to install and configure a GPL
PHP/MYSQL/Apache web app.

Looks like the "killer web app" has already been written, and it is GPL, and
someone just needs to install it and then let's start jamming!

OK, looks like I'm logged in to the SVN tree
that Mark set up (thanks!).
What's the next step? Commit a loop or sample? What format was decided
upon?
How will communication occur? IRC channel? Email? This list?
By the way, examples of "killer web apps" for music collaboration:
http://www.ccmixter.org
http://www.splicemusic.com
The SpliceMusic is particularly nice because it has its own web app to
reduce the compatibility issues in converting projects.
Actually, perhaps we should move this whole LAU project onto something that
already exists, such as ccmixer or splicemusic?
ccMixter will not permit BY-Sa licenses which will likely keep me out of the
game most times.
However, the ccMixter software (ccHost?) is Free and if someone wants to host
an instance and allow BY and BY-SA instead of ccMixter's BY and BY-NC, that
would work for me for now.
This seems like it could be heading for major project on the software side as
well (major projects even) and so I suggest that some music get made early in
the cycle even in a sub optimal way so that we have some results in the
musical realm.
