I looked at the cchost docs and it seems pretty straightforward, so I'd be willing to install and set it up if someone wants to give me a login to a web host account somewhere. Then again, everyone on this list is probably more than completely qualified to install and configure a GPL PHP/MYSQL/Apache web app.

Awesome!

Well it looks like there might be a convergence upon FLAC/44.1k/16bit for tracks/loops/samples. You could always limit it to ogg instead of FLAC if you get too close to your limits, or find someone else to take over hosting it if it gets to be an expense.

I haven't been counting, but I'd guess that about a dozen people have expressed interest. I don't know to estimate how much material everyone would upload and how soon. I have a whole hard disk full of unfinished loops, riffs, beats, and samples, which I'm ready to start contributing as soon as the system is alive.

I'm not sure how to estimate how much use a Linux-only, BY-SA cchost music collaboration site would get, but I reckon that only accurate way to find out is to push the thing live and see what happens.
