[linux-audio-user] what about creating a wiki website to submit "soundcard experiences"

what about creating a wiki website to submit "soundcard experiences"?

I think it would be a good idea, http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc is 
a good page to see if your hardware is supported (I suppose evrybody 
uses alsa) but I would like also to know user opinions of each card:
What I want to say is that one card can be supported by alsa but the 
whole setup is easier for some ones and in some cards there are more 
useful utilities around the driver than in other ones. This should be 
posted somewhere.
On the other hand we could also post our "most used jackd 
configurations" for each card, concrete issues to install more 
functionalities for the card (for instance, the soundfonts for the 
audigy), we could sum up there the usual messages asking for soundcard 
advice in the LAU, we could show the manufacturers how many people are 
interested on having a linux driver in some cards (just to help them set 
priorities), etc. At least, this could be useful for the current RME 
discussion...

I don't have the time to mantain a static site (anybody has it, I 
think), but it seems to me that a Wiki could be maintained by little 
contributions of all of us.
any suggestions about where to put this wiki? maybe at agnula.org? 
linuxdj.com?

what do you think about all this?
