I've recently been trying to involve a few friends of mine in developing a series of open source notification sounds at high quality, to distribute as a way to get them involved in open source from a music tech point of view. Until now I've had no takers for it, although some interest in getting involved. Would it not be prudent to make a call out to the "general-listening-public" to see if any other music tech geeks out there want to create a library of sounds for the gnome desktop, and as part of the development they extend and improve on the basic sound theme naming spec as it has been shown here.
