Point well taken. OTOH, Linux, and subsequently Lao is also about community.

I am not trying to "force" anything. I merely suggested this to see what the

community feels like. Linuxaudio.org never coerced anyone or anything to do

contrary to what they believe in and this is not going to change (at least

not under my watch). So, if you and/or others in the consortium feel this

way, so be it.
There is still a possibility that even under such circumstances we could

develop a theme/style framework which would be offered to subdomains to

adopt if they so desired (or wanted to have such a resource at their

disposal for the sake of easier website deployment), but this will not be

required... In other words, you need not worry about a hostile takeover or

any other move reminiscent of corporate backstabbing.
Best wishes,
