I would like to help maintaining cyclone.
a bit about yourself: Professional software tester. Have some knowledge of c, Tcl, svn and make.
your history with Pd: On and off small projects and attending Pd conventions.
what you use Pd for: Mainly for improving my programming skills.
your source forge name: electrickery
what I plan to do: The first stage of cyclone maintenance is fixing the stability problems and extend/improve help patches, but the direction of further development is open to discussion; - make the clones as perfect as possible, but based on which Max/MSP version? - add only more Max/MSP functionality that do not break existing patches, - keep the current functionality working on as much platforms as possible.
Currently I think somewhere between the second and third option would be best and doable, but I would like to hear more opinions.

An additional reason for svn commit access is the fact that the patches I submitted some time ago ( https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/patches/515/ and https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/patches/516/) are still waiting to be processed...

Hi Fred Jan,If you're on GNU/Linux, you might consider using/developing on Pd-l2ork. It ships with revised help patches for Cyclone and has fixed a lot of bugs. You can clone Pd-l2ork here:https://github.com/pd-l2ork/pd
If you want to add any of your bug fixes you can just send patches, or get commit access by emailing Ivica. It's at least something to try while waiting for a response here. :) Best,Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

These help-patches indeed look cool, making the help more in line with what you started for vanilla. I might even use those as base for the improved patches ;-).

Currently I try not to be too impatient, as there is enough to figure out; wading through lists, forums and trackers to find bug reports, arrange test platforms, making unit-test-patches and of course the structure of the cyclone library.
But I have no problem submitting changes to Pd-l2ork too, after all, the two branches are mainly compatible; the pd-extended cyclone/hammer/counter object I am working on ran without problem with Pd-l2ork.
Best, Jonathan

No problem, I used it well improving the help-patches.
