That must be why the Ardour3 pre-release notes say:
  "Many thanks are also due to Alex Stone and Dan MacDonald for their

beyond-the-call-of-duty help testing MIDI and their numerous

   suggestions on workflow, UI and more."
Ardour3 shows a heavy influence from your suggestions, even though its

certainly true that not all of the ones that we liked have been

implemented and that a few of your ideas clashed with other aspects of

Ardour's design and so are unlikely to show up (though its not

impossible).
So that's 1 out of the "at least 3 projects" ... a case where your

input had a major role in shaping things, and where we're actually and

publically indebted to you for your insights and suggestions. I have

no idea what the response from the other projects was. I was actually

pretty mystified when you dropped out of #ardour, but assumed it was

because you decided that ardour3 would either never or not-soon-enough

have the workflow you wanted for OOM and/or were too busy with OOM.
