I don't think this is at all off-topic, by the way. I think you
should post this on the main list.
I think this is a good idea. It would be good to have a repository
that is really easy to contribute too. I think this could happen on
puredata.info.
I think a really cool grand plan would be to make an apt-get/Eclipse
updates system where people can publish their own libs as
repositories, then people can manage the packages from Pd. Seeing
what you guys have done with netpd, I think it would be possible to
implement this in Pd. If there are things missing, I'll implement
them! :D

dear Ladies and Gentlemen
i cleaned up my pd-user desktop and merged all directories
together. desk2, desk3, desk4, newstuff, newstuff2, newstuff3 newstuff4 ist now all
into desk1 agian :)now there are over 500 patches and patch-collections in desk1. i
like pd and its free chaotic structure but i really miss a "central library", a
place where _everybody_ can submit patches/abs with only a few rules.some of my are in cvs and some are somewhere else (i'm sure i'd
find them after a while)some examples (very incomplete list)
- s-abstractions (don't know where to find)
- jmmmp, list-abs (cvs)
- pdmtl (don't know where to find)
(what was the mtl again?)
- dsplib ????
- rradical, metastudio, pixeltango and lots of other projects
- then there is the pdforum and the pdlist with lots of single patches
- pd(web)ring with all the awesome sites and patches
how about we start somewhere a new place and agree on some basic
rules.for example
- all abstraction have to go to the same directory abs (lets force
and fight nameclashes)
- all patches have to be in a directory patches (no funky directory
naming)
- all patches should have [import] for the used extrenals (pd-ext
has all the externals and uses import)
- ?
install the "central lib"
- abs has to be in the searchpath
- ?
it's funny to have all the funky names in cvs but they often are
just names and don't say anything about what they do nor are they a big help for
newbies. zexy, vbap, unauthorized, tb or footils, la-kitchen, nusmuk and so on...
where is the church of consistency? ;-)what are you're thoughts about that?
