Hi, I'm just having a quick browse of the http://lv2plug.in site now and while at first glance it looks like it has everything in place, after looking into the system a little more deeply there is a definite slant towards documentation that is more advanced than the average n00b developer would be ready to absorb on first attempt.
There are two docs that give plenty of useful info for starters but they are assuming a certain level of expertise. Also the doc for "complete idiots" comes across as more than a little patronising. I can't tell if that was the intention of the writer or not. I can see a gap for a *very* simple "hello world" document. It will very quickly outline the exact steps required to build the most simple plugin possible. Maybe if we are lucky our resident writers Dave Phillips or Daniel James will have time to edit it for clarity before it is posted. I will work on the draft for this using the two pages above as reference. On the page for loading plugins it should have an accompanying set of example code packages for c, c++, objective c++ python, java, c#, vb... If anyone would like to submit a code example for one of these languages that would be very helpful. Ideally it will be less than 100 lines of code and hopefully significantly less. If you choose the right license you also get free advertising when people use your code in their own projects for the next 50,000 years or so assuming we don't experience a nuclear holocaust or other mass extinction event. These two steps above could easily be completed by the end of the week if everyone who has an interest in seeing LV2 gain wider adoption pitches in. Cheers.
