Mark wrote to me with these ideas and has spurred me into action. This
is probably useless for 90% of the people on this list but you may be
want to point your friends to it.
John. Can you put a link up on mstation.org
also if the ALSA crew are following you will probably want to update the
Documentation link on your site.
Kai. I would like to include your excellent round up on the status of
LAD. Do you mind?

Actually, a couple of us kind of attempted that last year with the
manual for Mstation. Currently available as a tarball and webpage on
line. Maybe I should have let more people know. But you stirred
something in my brain with this point so I have now put the manual on a
page with no advertising. Boosthardware is the new host for the mstation
manual.

Sounds good. Are you saying we have to educate each other about our
improvements? It's worth looking into. The new site that Benno is
cooking up should go a long way on this front. But This is essentially
the same thing as mstation so now I'm kindof confused. Is there anyway
that LAD/LAU can be amalgamated with mstation?

A good reason for adding a LAU list.

In fact what you have are looking for would seem to be the mstation
website.
