Unfa,
I agree with all points. This is a good place to keep this conversation
going. The only issue with what you are describing it is takes the already
delayed LSP project and adds more items to it.
In terms of uploading rendered versions, I would really like to see down
the road a server-side rendering of presets. (like a nightly task that
imports the preset files into a blank project and renders them against a
basic melody). I wouldn't want people to have to upload the WAVs, that's
just tedious and no one will do it.
The rest is feasible, although subscription based content can get tricky.
I'm inclined to recommend the LSP offer shared login services such as
OpenID, Google, Facebook. This his how the porting team website
operates<http://i.imgur.com/9E7FkXr.png> and
is a growing trend.
Please keep this discussion flowing because you are spot on in terms of
engineering this out to accommodate the social element, which I believe to
be the primary source of energy behind our user community.
