Hey all,
Now that the core of Pd-devel is working,
actually it isn't working on Linux (the main window shows up, but it's freezed)
and other people are starting to mess with it, I figure its a good time to have an IRC meeting about it. At this point, the code is working but could be structured much better.

One thing I am realizing is that the code would probably be a lot cleaner if it was organized in a more Object-oriented style. I am not sure that using incr Tcl or things like that are the way, I think we could probably just organize things into packages that act like object classes, but I am open to other things.
incrTcl is nice also tcl 8.5 has it's own object system (available as tclOO extension for earlier versions) also is possible to make a tiny object system in pure-tcl I've made mine - it has public/provate methods, widget hiding, it's very much like tk "objects" - see http://wiki.tcl.tk/18151 very beginning of the code defines the object system
I'm actually working to a dataflow canvas in pure tcl it actually implements every functionality of the pd canvas and has the same feel, it can mimick the style of pd or max, I added autocomplete feature (bash-style completion) I'm planning adding segmented patch cords (although I'm now stuck with complex line-routing algorithms)
How about next Thursday or Friday? Here is one proposed time, which we can adjust spending on who can make it:
* 9.00 Pacific Time * 11.00 Central Time * 12.00 Eastern Time/PET * 15.00 BRST/Sao Paulo * 17.00 GMT/Zulu * 18.00 Central European CET * 19.00 EET/Istanbul/Cairo * 23.00 IST/Chennai * 1.00 CST/TaipeiI am on irc://irc.freenode.net/dataflow a lot, feel free to ping me about this any time.
