Greetings:
Time is getting tighter for me these days, so I'm not always able to
update the Linux soundapps sites as often as I'd like. As most of you
know, I'm also not particularly pleased with the construction of the
pages (plain old manually edited HTML), but I figure the present
arrangement is serviceable enough to last a little while longer.
Recently I've been considering how to update the sites more
frequently, and I've come up with this idea:
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to assign the upkeep of
certain sections of the pages to members of the community. Basically,
you would ask to maintain a section, I'd say yea or nay (with about a
99.99% probability of a Yea), then whenever you wanted to update the
section you'd send it to me and I'd put it on-line. It's getting to the
point where I'm no longer able to decently cover every aspect of Linux
audio software development by myself, and I need to find a way to more
efficiently update the pages. So if you're interested in maintaining a
section (or more) of the Linux soundapps pages, please write to me
off-list and I'll go into more detail. Btw, you'll get credit in the
section header.
Does this sound at all feasible ?
Best,
dp
Dave,
I think that if this would help you then it's a good idea. There
are probably 5-10 folks out here, myself included, that would be
willing and happy to help out.
As a Wiki user of less than 24 hours (
ruccus.org - I was looking
for someplace to post a few Linux made tunes as I don't have a server)
I'm impressed by how much can get done on a Wiki. I would be a bit
concerned about turning your site into a completely open Wiki system
where anyone could put anything there as you have kept up a high
quality level and I wouldn't want to see that deteriorate over time,
but Wiki technology might be cool for those of us that don't do HTML.
(Not that I couldn't learn.)
If there's a way I can help out a bit let me know.
- Mark
Aren't there managed/moderated wikis that allow you exactly what you want? (saying
Nay/yea)
I'd be happy to help as well, where I'm able.
and I say wiki.votes++, (not trying to convince you...:)
cheers, tobias.
