Incidentally, I also think this highlights the need for a poll of the Pd list at some point so we can get some idea of what users are using what externals, abstraction sets, libraries, etc. I would love to see the numbers, and it would probably be useful for Miller to see what is popular about Pd in a quantifiable scientific way.
what about an opt-in usage statistics 'phone home'. initng does this for example.. firefox just does it without even asking..
Funny, I was just thinking about something like that. It would be cool to know how many people are using Pd. If you code it, I'll include it in Pd-extended. Then maybe it could make it into devel or MAIN.
this doesn't add any useful functionality for the user and is using the means of adware/spyware/activation ... it will definitely not make it into devel as long i still have a write access to the cvs ...
