hello,
well, PDB is editable, you can access it here: http://iem.at/pdb/edit/ (give"pd" as login name and "pd" as password"). maybe i was too paranoiac about publishing the link - now i have put it on the index page as well.
but nevertheless, i have been much too lazy in the last years in mantaining and updating :(
i would really appreciate a to start with a completely new approach,
since the design of the whole thing is very outdated. pdp was made in the
old pre-cvs days and i think a new implementation should cooperate with it,
ideally integrate automatically new entries as they appear in the cvs.

Hi, since PDB is a read-only database and very much incomplete, may I suggest that we use a copy of RAA instead ? It's the database of packages for the Ruby language (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/).
I think RAA's web engine is freely available, so if there is interest, I could find the code, and it could be installed on one of the main Pd sites, and people would fill it with listings of Pd's externals instead of Ruby's externals.
Alternatively, Alex or I could install it on http://artengine.ca/ ...
