Your approach seems much more doable, and would probably help a lot of folks. Plus, your web site is someplace people will logically look for this kind of information. IMHO, the ALSA Wiki has become a valuable resource. I don't know if that's because of "wiki-ness" or because some smart people put significant effort into it. But, I suspect the latter. :-) Patrick's suggestion about linking this information into the ALSA soundcard matrix is a good idea. Of course, not everything will be about sound cards. Other issues include: disk tuning, file systems, window managers, video cards, motherboards, multiprocessor issues, PCI interrupt priorities, kernel versions and patches, etc., etc. I think it's going to be tricky to organize all this information so people can find what they need. A powerful search facility may be required. I know almost nothing about administering wikis. What problems did you encounter? I imagine that, like most things, it takes a lot of effort and attention to keep it going in a useful direction. If you want to do this, I'll gladly help. Maybe a small team could keep each individual's burden down to a tolerable level. Where would be a good place to begin? A laborious search of various mailing list archives might be helpful, though that seems like a big job. I suppose the wiki approach is to create an overall structure and ask people to contribute their own experiences in their own words. Regards, -- Jack O'Quin Austin, Texas, USA
