Hi,
I'm just having a quick browse of the http://lv2plug.in site now and
while at first glance it looks like it has everything in place, after
looking into the system a little more deeply there is a definite slant
towards documentation that is more advanced than the average n00b
developer would be ready to absorb on first attempt.
There are two docs that give plenty of useful info for starters but they
are assuming a certain level of expertise. Also the doc for "complete
idiots" comes across as more than a little patronising. I can't tell if
that was the intention of the writer or not.
I can see a gap for a *very* simple "hello world" document. It will very
quickly outline the exact steps required to build the most simple plugin
possible. Maybe if we are lucky our resident writers Dave Phillips or
Daniel James will have time to edit it for clarity before it is posted.
I will work on the draft for this using the two pages above as reference.
On the page for loading plugins it should have an accompanying set of
example code packages for c, c++, objective c++ python, java, c#, vb...
If anyone would like to submit a code example for one of these languages
that would be very helpful. Ideally it will be less than 100 lines of
code and hopefully significantly less. If you choose the right license
you also get free advertising when people use your code in their own
projects for the next 50,000 years or so assuming we don't experience a
nuclear holocaust or other mass extinction event.
These two steps above could easily be completed by the end of the week
if everyone who has an interest in seeing LV2 gain wider adoption
pitches in.
Cheers.
