For instance, the website puredata.info could use some sprucing up. I don't have any CMS axe to grind, but it would be nice if the front page was less technobabble and more advertisement for PD.
well, there seems to be some misunderstanding about open source
projects.there is no army of HTML designers ready to do this redesign. pretty much everything associated with pd was done because somebody gave their time to do it.
so, *you* could do it [prolly involves work], but there's no one else who's going to pick it up. it's not like apple [ipod-land], where people are paid to do this kinda work. it's a community based project- uneven and irregular [like communities are].
I second that. But people could be paid to do this work if people
gave other people money to do the work. That's how my Pd-extended
distros started: people paid me to do it.
