IotaCenter has a public list serve equivalent to Frameworks but less
trafficked that deals with this in depth, and constantly has people
suggesting works, etc. Itıs a Yahoo Group, so if you go to Yahoo groups and
search for it, you can join.
It will be more productive for you than this list, I think.
And their web site is:
 http://www.iotacenter.org

Center for Visual Music also has one but one must be a member to be on it.
