hi hans/all,
well we could start with an unstructured collection of materials at this place, like, texts, links, ideas, exercises. So that if someone plans to have a workshop about Pd he/she can search this library for useful stuff. for workshops will be individual anyhow, because of hours, number of participants... this could be another approach.
how can I get access to that directory on the pure data plone?
I have not really held or participate in any *workshops*, although I had a very good course about max/msp at the university, anyway reports from the front would help a lot...

Ok, to get things starting, I created a Wiki on pure-data.org:
http://pure-data.iem.at/docs/workshops
After we get a better idea of how to organize this, then we can decide to change it to something more structured, like HTML, PDF, whatever.
I think that workshops are different than tutorials and documentation. To me, tutorials are more narrow in focus, like one specific task, and they are aimed at someone working without an instructor. These workshops should be teaching materials for teaching classes, with a syllabus, readings, exercises, and even lecture notes. I think given Miller's book and other resources being online, think we should be able to have all of the course materials freely available.
To start we can do this all in English, then as they get developed, they could be translated into any language.

hi,
metoo think it's a great idea. esp. to have workshops to specific focusses, like "beginners", "networking, streaming", "video", "composition", "dsp theory", "interfaces and live performing", "external programming", ...
in addition to the workshops, or as a basis for them, a systematic documentation and teaching material should be available: online(html...), in printable form (pdf, working sheets), as pd-tutorial (stepwise), as pd-help-patches (reference), as FAQ, and there should be a discussion forum and/or the mailing list (including searcheable archives). So we need a place to collect, sort, revise and distribute the material (and of course people doing this job). there are lots of approaches and most thing are existing already, so perhaps focussing them in one point/place could (!) be a clever move now.

I think that's a brilliant idea, particularly given that I'm teaching an
intro workshop this fall and would love
to see resources. Of course, as i get a clearer idea of what I'll be
doing, I'll add my own resources to the
pot.
If there needs to be any web development in relation to this project, I'd
love to help.

So since a number of us are doing Pd workshops these days, I thought that we could join together to develop some open source Pd workshops that we all can use. I am not entirely sure what form these would take
since I have only done a couple individual classes, mostly general intros.
I think that it would be cool to develop courses, like a one day course, a one week course, etc. Ideally, the reading and the exercises
would all be available on a single website, and maybe also included in
the Pd distros.
I have started some patches that illustrate concepts and experiments in
music cognition and perception that I will be checking into the CVS once they are ready.
