Fedora jam now has it's own spin page[1]. I also thought this
would be a
good time to clean up the wiki pages that are already used by the
project. There are two, one called "Audio creation", and one called
"audio_creation_spin_development"[2]. The latter we should use to keep
ourselves organized. I have started cleaning it up, by moving thing
around a little and putting discussions into the talk page.
The way it should work now is the following:
The primary packeges is a flat list with the name of packages we *need*
to have in the spin for it to be a complete Audio creation spin. If you
are unsure if what you want is a primary package, post on the talk page,
or just send a message to the mailing list and see how people feel. I
have created a script that goes through the primary packages list and
checks if they are packaged or not, and if they are up for review[3].
If there is a package you would like to see in the spin, but don't think
it *has* to be there, add it to the wishlist. I will try to make it
easier to add to the wishlist in the near future, until then it's the
same as before.
Anyone is free to take a task from the task list if they don't feel like
creating packegaes, just remember to write that you have taken it. I
will update the task list as time goes by.
If there are any questions about what needs to be done, or where we are
at, don't hesitate to contact me
tl;dr: only packages we *need* should go into the primary packages list.
If you have submitted a package to the list/wishlist, make sure it's
where it should be

That's great.
Personally I believe we should package all synths, all LV2/LADSPA
plugins and aim to have a spin media which fits on a 1 Gig USB stick
(turns out to be about 950M) , with enough space to create a usable
overlay for the live image (say 100M?). If the package selection is to
great, then happy to beak this storage barrier.
Perhaps we should define some areas of interest, and select what
packages best represent them? I haven ot included plugins here
- Framework (a2jmidid, qjackctl, qjackmmc, ladish, jack etc)
- Media Players ( ? )
- Notation (frescobaldi,musescore, tuxguitar?)
- Live Recording / Mixing / Production
(ardour/qtractor/rosegarden/muse/jamin)
- Synthesis and sampling (zynaddsubfx/phasex/lv2,ladspa,dssi
synths/fluidsynth)
- Effects (guitarix,zita-*)
- Academic (for want of a better word) (puredata, supercollider, ams etc)
- visual (projectM?)
Anything I've missed? These are just ideas from the top of my head. I
think the previous spin wiki pages have grouped it similarly so.
