I'd be happy to have a go at this and put it somewhere like http://alsa.opensrc.org/database (?) but I'd need some more input as to what is really wanted/needed and a bit of feedback as it evolved. If you care to elaborate on what you'd like to see then I'll start on it as soon as I have some specs to guide me. > This is a task that does not require anything heavy like kernel > development skills, just the time and patience of a web developer to > take one of those old sites and put some life back into it. FWIW I'm a partner in the small co-lo where alsa.opensrc.org resides and will provide a dedicated box for it (opensrc.org, it is currently a vhost) rsn and have no intention of not supporting it for the next 10 years. --markc ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
