Hi,
As a starter, I'd also like to be in :-)
I can play... loads of stuff. Derbuka, digeridoo, Cajon, guitar,
piano, recorder (heh, well... I've been to school :-)

Speaking of MIDI (I know I know, it's a dirty 4
letter word)...
anything to do with MIDI would be ideal for collaborative
subversion management because the file size is so reasonable.
Perhaps a judicious compromise between using MIDI, where
feasible, and vorbis test tracks (again, where feasible) and
only relying on flac'd wav tracks towards the end of the
pieces lifetime when it comes time for mastering.
I suspect the uploaded wav format should be 16bit/44.1khtz
because of bandwidth concerns.
MIDI could be used for collaborative composition, With a set of fixed
downloadable instrument samples to work with. Then could the real
recording/mastering part come.
Another possibility I've been thinking about is a fixed database of
wave files assembled in an ardour session. The ardour session could be
edited in a collaborative fashion using SVN, while the audio would be
out of this scope (audio files are just too big for
SVN/GIT/CVS/WhatEver to handle)
