-Finally! This is just what I was looikng for.
+====== soundfonts ======
+A general introduction to soundfonts can be found at [[wp>SoundFont]].
+Popular linux applications that allow [[apps:all:qsynth|Qsynth]] (and other [[apps:categories:fluidsynth|FluidSynth]] frontends) for .sf2 files, and [[apps:all:linuxsampler|Linuxsampler]] for .gig files.
+Aside from soundfonts, you might also want to browser other [[apps:categories:softsynths_and_samplers|Softsynths And Samplers]].
+====== towards a linuxaudio.org soundfont collection ======
+Inspired by recent discussions on the linux-audio-user mailing list, linuxaudio.org is considering to host a collection of free soundfonts.
+A [[http://download.linuxaudio.org/lau/|HTTP mirror]] and a [[http://download.linuxaudio.org/torrents/|torrent-tracker]] have been set up. Ask on the LAD email list to get your files mirrored on linuxaudio.org.
+===== ideas/brainstorm=====
+  - just collect references to existing resources.
+  - in combination with (1) - mirror some external sf as plain http index & txt readme
+  - mirror or collaborate/extend existing solutions. (eg. [[http://sounds.resonance.org]] )
+  - use a wiki or CMS to tag, archive and comment on sound-fonts
+===== collection of external resources =====
+most of these URLs were taken from to the "soundfonts" threads on the [[http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2007-April/thread.html|LAU]] mailing list. - feel free to add and annotate!
