Subject[Csnd] Csound website possibilities
Hi!

I enjoyed meeting everyone in the conference, and I had some particularly interesting conversations with Chris Konopka about what the website could become, which I wanted to follow up on here.

There are three things I'd like to see:
(1) A way to help facilitate finding and creating local user groups

(2) A "planet" blog aggregator, in the style of http://planet.debian.org/ , http://planet.gnome.org/ , etc.

(3) A wiki with stub pages for every opcode and GEN, to facilitate adding tips about these.  A bare wiki is too nebulous, people don't know what pages to create -- but a set of stub pages with some structure may lead to it being a resource that people use.

Other suggestions I've heard include having a "csound radio" (which apparently was a thing sometime in the past; I never saw that), and a way to facilitate the sharing of csound instruments & scores.

What do you people think?

Forrest

I second the motion regarding radio and sharing of code for pieces.

Regards,
