I think this is also the greatest ailment of the Linux audio community.

Perhaps it stems from the fact that everyone is excited about the 2%

inspiration new project offers but is taken aback when the first 2% finally

disappear and one is left with 98% perspiration. Such projects never go past

the 0.3 version and eventually join the endless ranks of "potentially really

cool but totally buggy and unfinished" software tools.
This is why I've been lobbying hard to get all the online resources into one

place. That's why we have apps.linuxaudio.org docs.linuxaudio.org

lists.linuxaudio.org etc. (yes some of these are placeholders waiting for

users to contribute). We need more perspiration than inspiration at this

point as that will be the only thing that will bring us closer to some of

the noble goals mentioned here.
