Yes, but it would take a vision that could do battle with the places where music's needs are not like other content we know about. Also, having a community representative who can use and contribute back to the music base is pretty key. Endorsements such as DJ Spooky would be key to attracting new community. Music source is one of the tough aspects here. People use tools with formats that are varying degrees of usable/openable as tracks in another program. The barrier is too high with ccMixter being full of samples and pieces. To grow a big enough community, we need to give budding musicians the equivalent of "view source." That's the kind of value I could see Fedora bringing -- big-scale, open contributing communities, growing under the sun. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
