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)
Strange, that happened on one of Chun's machines, but not the other. This does not happen on my Ubuntu/Intrepid/i386 machine. I've only been working on my laptop so far. Could it be related to the font loading? Where does it freeze? Have you tried loading pd first? or pd-gui first?
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)
Sounds cool, but I'd say skip the segmented patch cords :)
