A github-like service for musicians that would allow:
1. Version control of compositions;
2. Forks of other musicians' "repositories" / compositions;
3. Contributions to other musicians' songs;
4. Possibly play the songs online;
5. Private / public repos;
6. Individual / band / group / organization repos.
7. ???
What I have in mind is more focused on the composition part of music creation, rather then recording / editing. But this is a very cool project! And of course collaborative sound editing would be awesome for an idea such as mine.
I didn't work much in the the idea, but since I'd focus more in hte composition process, I thought of building an easy-to-use, graphic version control tool that integrates with common composition software (finale, guitar pro etc.).
This tool wold then convert the score / tablature into a single representation that would be used for storing, diffs and such. Perhaps this represantation could be text-based (lilypond [1]?) to use a mainstream VCS (git) as backend.
But I don't have the skills or time to do that, so it will stay in stand by until someone (me?) implements it someday.
