[microsound] FWD: Ardour in trouble

[Kim Cascone]

I'm forwarding this from the lead developer of an amazing FOSS audio  
app: ARDOUR
please help spread the word and forward this to other lists and  
people you know who might be able to help
also I know money is tight these days but if you could possibly pitch  
in €/$20 that would be great!
:)
