I'm sorry if it came across like that. maybe you were mixing up issues: lowlatency is a single page on a dedicated web-server - a bit overkill, really. Some of the content in quicktoots is certainly out-of-date. Old ardour manuals get a higher search-engine ranking as new ones. Still, "There are a lot of hidden resources there!" which we must not neglect. In the long run I think that deleting them is better than keeping them as is. However we can also see to update or migrate them: fi. linking some of the quicktoots on a page with tutorials from LACs, make them available as PDF and HTML etc. > Hence I offered to remove them from the mix and host them on my > own server where they were originally located.

I can add the redirects but I won't do anything without consent. If you don't mind just leave it as is. I'll need a few days to come up with a proposal for lau/quicktoots but I wouldn't mind to introduce you to the wiki, drupal or hear suggestions what linuxaudio.org could do with the lau domain in your opinion. IMO quicktoots is a very 90's webdesign; but I won't be able to do any better anytime soon. My idea is to revisit the issue after we've decided on a general interaction-design and style for linuxaudio.org Meanwhile you could fix the dead-links on lau.linuxaudio.org to linuxdoc.org in the "Before you start" section. and add a http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html to lau and quicktoots. let's follow the road of many small changes. > If that is what you are suggesting then I think it would be easier if I > just move the content back to djcj.org. > > Then you can remove the subdomains and not have to worry about them any > longer. unless we move LAU over to djcj we'll have to worry about lau.linuxaudio.org either way. 2c, robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkHCisACgkQeVUk8U+VK0IlYgCgh4Y9KQJ7RFauZhK8lOTJBnQI vyEAn1RJmawmH2zbK1cmCtaGe1zsm6Oh =jEOn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
