 As some of you already know I am the occasional

maintainer for ALSA.

I have been planning some additions to the site to make it more
accessible but before I jump into anything that could be considered
a facelift I would like to get some opinions from y'all.

Can you tell me what things you would like to have on the website
that are not already there? What things have you noticed while
using it that are not user friendly?

I would like to add a database for some kind of card rating system.

What would you consider valuable things to rate a card against?

All opinions will be considered so don't hold back ;-]  

 One thing that I didn't see the last time I was there, is a set of 
 instructions on howto replace the now somewhat ageing version of alsa 
 being shipped with the 2.6.0-test series of kernels, with the latest 
 versions, including a patchfile to fix the .config too.

 This would be very very nice for us "bleeding edge" types.  The 2.6 
 kernel is a genuine winner so far in terms of user interactivity.  I 
 haven't booted to a 2.4 kernel more than 10 minutes to test something 
 in a month or more.

This would be useful. Hopefully someone will find the time soon to make 
a contribution. Any takers?

Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke 
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets 
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. 
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before 
the arrival of U.S. troops.
