If someone has a home for it to live I could set one up. I think
having a forum for Linux based recording would be very useful. I
quite frankly don't much care for mailing lists.
Another thing that might be considdered is setting up a moodle.

I accept the offer! Thank's a lot!
However, I wonder wheter it is really useful and not non-productive way of giving
information. I saw some forums which multiply the same infos ten times with ten times the
same answers... then why writing again the stuff which got already an answer somewhere?!
Moreover, linux + audio stuff doesn't involve a lot of people, so somehow separting
them - us - is something which could be harmful to the audio-free-software-community!
But, it has also some advantage... I give example of the gentoo forums: Many wikis-howto
started in a forum! (note that it could start also from a mailing list).
Anyway, one of the most important point at my eyes is that forums are in a certain way
more "open" to the world: I feel that "newbie" have the tendancy to go
to forums instead of mailing list ; no idea wheter this is true or not (it was for me).
But if this is true, then it could bring more people to
audio-open-source-way-of-making-music! (isn't that a consumerist/productivist
attitude?!)

sorry,

there's an identifiable need and
this much energy towards setting one up, go
for it!
Ok, if the needs is here (I wait to see if it really exists), I'll manage to
setup something. Unfortunately, I'm gonna move to Berlin for a year or so in some
days, and I 'won't have time to do something before one or two month... to the one
who wish a forum, you'll have to wait a while if you are waiting for me. Then my
knowlege in forums are really basic, but I'm gonna dig deeper. What do we miss then? I
think we've got all we need...
