-synths

The format could be really simple like attack, sustain and release or similarly the on, loop and off parts of a synth sound. I imagine that the on and off parts could have a fair amount of movement in them and people could pull various things out of those clips. Loops are good for game stuff. Maybe the library could be organized on a macro level depending on what the range is like bass, mid and high.

Though it is spring and we all need excuses to go outside. . .

Otherwise I vote for
-Robots and Servos

It'd probably be easiest for me to contribute to a Train library - I was planning on doing one of those this summer anyways.

As interesting as a library like glass, or gears would be, I think taking advantage of the world locales available would be the best use of the crowd-sourced efforts.
+1 on walla for me.

Would be great to have (INT + EXT) x (SM, MED, LG) crowds.

How feasible is it to ask everyone to gather a group together and perform walla? Or are we talking about recording in a public space, like a restaurant, airport, hall, etc.?

I was wondering that too - are we talking about proper walla or simply field-recorded crowd sounds?

What's the legality of recording public crowds?

I would imagine that recording people in a public space is legal, just like the paparazzi can take photos. But if you're on private property (in a restaurant) I'm sure there is some law somewhere relating to it. What are the chances of them knowing or proving it? Probably nil. Good question though, it would be great to find out for sure.
