I've started to convert the information from linux-sound.org into a
distributable doku-wiki.
http://linux-sound.sonologic.nl/
This is a prototype installation and experimental suggestion!
Please review and comment before further development proceeds.
** content information **
it's basically a database of http://linux-sound.org chopped up into text
files. I have added URLs to [external] screenshots and logos to some
pages and updated or deleted a few dead links.. it's still a long way to
go, but some tasks could be semi-automated (fi. searching for dead links..)
I am open to suggestions on how to maintain the content. This prototype
is open for editing to all registered users (email verification).
I can share experiences or rewrite and improve the dokuwiki to some
extend, and may contribute to content but not on a day to day basis.
patches, suggestions and comments are welcome.
** design/layout look&feel **
no efforts have been taken to change the default dokuwiki look and feel.
Is anyone interested in
a) designing and writing a dokuwiki template
b) start a discussion on aims and goals for good user interaction design
c) create a wiki-page to host a design contest
d) rewriting the dokuwiki template ;-)
** technical- and mirror information. **
The data set is a 20MB git repository.
dokuwiki keeps it's data in txt files. I've started to put them under
git version control. The idea for mirror-sites is to
check out and branch their wiki while maintainers can merge information
upstream. dokuwiki only requires php.
The wiki itself is available as a separate git repository (incl.
pre-installed plugins and config) - the independent data-set git repos
should work with every dokuwiki installation. The whole system including
generated-meta data is about 50 MB.

How is the one we already have, not perfect?
Why register on a wiki, as it'll only give us less contributors?

Hi,
please keep in mind that CAPTCHA usually singles out i.e. blind users. You
_must_ have an alternative CAPTHA mechanism besides pictures (I.e. simple
mathematical questions in the vein of "If you have three oranges and four
apple, you take away 2 oranges and 1 apple. How much apples have you got
left?". Or something similar. Ok, maybe easier to process automatically than
pictures, but with some creative wording and a spelling mistake here and
there this could still work.
Or maybe there's better CAPTCHA mechanisms that are useful for disabled
people, too..

best suggestion i've read is odd-one-out:
Which of the odd one out in the following list:
red, blue, green, purple, jupiter
zillions of alternatives:
car, train, bus, plane, apple
a, b, c, d, e, 9
tall, short, fat, skinny, kangaroo
noun, adjective, verb, rose
and so on.
these can still be solved by the $0.02/hr CAPTCHA farmers, but they do
work for blind users and they are not ugly to look at. they also require
a small amount of intelligence, which is no bad thing :)

and making this a bit more field-specific would also rule out the
captcha farmers.

And why do you think LA* lists are moderated (especially LAA) ? Do you
know how much spam I filter out every day to keep your mailboxes Nice
and Clean (tm) ?
Cheers,

Which I, for one, thank you profusely. I have been on some lists without
moderators. Usually, after a short while, I leave...
Yes, sadly registering in one way or another is required for keeping out spam,
although I've seen pretty light-weigh solutions, like typing in a confirmation
code that is presented as an intentionally poor image to keep out the 'bots.
Still requires some registration so the system knows which email address this
allows.
I see no way around this.
