I do like the idea, too.
That could be a step towards continuing of Jeremy's "Linux Audio Monthly

Round-Up" series on http://linuxaudio.org/ : news about software

releases, new Linux friendly vendors and devices. A collection of links,

references to wiki-pages, hot email-threads, blogs, videos etc..
I know Jeremy put lots of hard work into those great articles but is

currently not able to continue those (list-readers will know that he

became dad for a 2nd time not too long ago). - He set a very high

standard, maybe a bit too high to encourage others to write there as

well.. Don't let that intimidate you!
A few short messages or notes on the linuxaudio.org front-page would  be

cool! It's a drupal: adding some "poll" module to for the "pick of the

month" should be trivial, too.
Please inquire with Ico & me or on the consortium list for an account on

http://linuxaudio.org
I'm going to write a post-LAC blog for the site, once the LAC site

itself is wrapped up but I am too busy to be taking care of regular

font-page stories myself.
best,

robin
