Hallo,
in the light of the discussion under the Subject: "PD-CVS digest bla" maybe this upcoming talk is of interest to the participants: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1523.de.html
Though not completely matching it shows: We/You're not alone.
Ciao

Yes, this is a very pertinent article, given what I've read of the various Pd-lists. But the article fails to offer any viable solutions. What can be done to combat this?

It's likely that software evolution will work the problem out for us all. Whichever projects receive the attention of users and developers are the ones that will survive. Perhaps we shouldn't see the plethora of Pd forks as a bad thing, but as a healthy software ecosystem? Features can jump between forks (either as patches, or re-coding features from scratch) and competition will ensure innovation. The only down side is that there is a fair bit of duplication of effort, but maybe that will get annoying enough for the developers that they will start working together again. Or maybe their personalities and differences will continue to make them duplicate work unneccessarily. I have to selfishly say that I don't really care, as long as it means more good Free software for all of us. :)
Given the history of the Max paradigm I am pretty certain that the lead developer of Vanilla Pd will continue with his work, which is lucky for me since that's the fork that I use most.
Best,
Chris.

Because there are no solutions! Every open source project goes down in flames ultimately! ;)
Or maybe because we are all a bunch of technical geeks trying to solve social problems by hacking...
But yes, interesting overview in the article.
