I'd not say no. - I'm managing services for the linuxaudio.org community since 2005 and can assist with advise or offer services. There has been recent discussion on the linux-audio-user email list on the future of lam.fugal.net ; hosting a database of FLOSS media. We're missing a planet or some dedicated open CMS orthogonal to archive.org and ccmixter; but I'll save the details for later.. Besides I got personal interest since I'm actually doing much more gnu/Linux Film-postproduction than linuxaudio. > To some extent the Vimeo cinelerra group has filled that gap for > cinelerra users, perhaps just using an existing site like that would > also work? IMHO: web services are great. Mailing-lists are better. linuxaudio.org's Maxime is to create and maintain [web] services to ease communication, prevent recurring topics and consolidate information around the mailing lists. Since we focus on quality, linuxaudio.org is behind with "web-2.0" standards (which is not due to lack of knowledge but of time and dedication). The Linux Audio Consortium is currently seeking affiliation with the Linux Foundation (like linuxprinting.org did). You should consider asking the Foundations of Open Media Software (FOMS); or more pragmatically: collaborate with videobin.org or flossmanuals.net A drupal (or similar), mailing-lists and bandwith can be arranged very easily. A concept and regular content-maintainers is what you need. Personally I'd advise against "linuxvideo" First there's a lot of FLOSS friends who are not "Linux" but GNU, BSD,.. second there are a lot of folks who do Film and not Video. so long, robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkk/zZIACgkQeVUk8U+VK0IXkACgl0fBsz+K0d/5izm5x2efSyFq XpoAniA7BjGfoHH5Tncd9Vr7VPLOlzRJ =PLMc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
