Are these are the subdomains that you are referring to?
http://lau.linuxaudio.org

http://lowlatency.linuxaudio.org

http://quicktoots.linuxaudio.org
They are all linked to from the portal page and have fairly simple

structures.
lau.
- This page was designed to be very simple and provide a non threatening

or overwhelming way in for non technical uses or n00bs. If someone has

suggestions for how to make it even easier for the target reader then

please let me know. I'll see if I can find some time to add a more

obvious link to linuxaudio.org throughout all the documents. Probably

just add a new header/footer, parse the html before loading the page and

dump it into a div. Can't be bothered reworking all the existing pages.
lowlatency.
- If anyone has a suggestion for making the lowlatency page more user

friendly then please let me know. I'm more than happy to fine tune it.

The last time anyone bothered to make a suggestion was at least two

years ago. I guess that means the existing page either provides all the

necessary information or else no one uses it. Probably the latter

because the information has already been assimilated by several distro

tutorials and wikis.
I'll start a new thread to get a round up on the latest knowledge to be

added to the page.
One thing that might be useful is an rss feed with the latest updates.

Not sure exactly how it should be managed though... It may also distract

attention from the list/s which is where a lot of announcements are

currently made.
quicktoots.
- The basic design and layout of the quicktoots is not going to change

anytime soon. However if someone wants to submit a new tutorial the

space is always open. Of course if someone also wants to make a new skin

then that would be nice too. It's easy to add code for several skins to

be displayed randomly or otherwise.
