Aah, ok - I'm on the dev list now. Here is the email that I sent directly to guenter before:
My external can scan for given input devices in linux and spit out the device file descriptor (i.e. /dev/input/event5) so that a particular device can be automatically connected to a patch when it's plugged in, or when the patch is started - rather than having to hard-code the descriptor - so it allows for a kind of "plug-and-play" for input devices. I've been using it with hans-christoph's linuxjoystick in order to avoid hard-coding the file descriptor, meaning that patch can always start up and be "live" regardless of what order devices were plugged in, etc.
thanks, -David

hello Guenter - Can I be given developer permissions for the pure-data CVS? I have a new external that I'd like to share with the rest of the community. thanks!
I am forwarding your request to the pd developers list, as this is the place where we normaly discuss additions. Maybe you can also explain what your external does, in order to not duplicat functionality.
Also, being subscribed to pd-dev@iem.at is a very good idea.
