There are lots of great ideas in all of those libraries, and I think
Pd would be really well served having a big grand unified collection
of libraries. But I think that we don't really know well enough how
to do the whole thing right. So we really should think of this as
some stepping stones. That is why I have been advocating for people
to take on specific libraries first, like a filter lib, or a midi lib,
or a mapping lib, etc. Then in thru that process we can both figure
out how to build the whole grand unified scheme, and build up the
chunks while we are at it.

Maybe take a vote and see what convention is most popular: pdmtl, s- abstractions, rjlib, netpd, or others I am not remembering.
Then, figure out which items from other libraries should be ported
first to this convention.Next, give this library a special status within Pd-extended so that
people know they can go to it very easily, rather than getting mired
down in the list of funny names that is currently the examples folder.A wiki is a good idea for the API f'sho. I am thinking pdmtl right
now, but have not looked at s-abs or rjlib very closely. Netpd is
very nice too, just needs to be categorized like pdmtl.~Kyle

oh and mailing lists?My patches are focused on allowing me to playback midi files to run
a drum machine, live effects for guitar and vocals, generative or
sequenced analog style bass/lead synths, and easy mixing/bussing
etc. I do not have a dsp/digital approach to Pd, but I'm sure
there's plenty who do ... this could be a good collaborative project
for sure.i think this idea of making a unified library of patches is
fantastic. but i don't think it should be a project given to a student with little experience in pd.i'd be more than happy to help out.
what would be the best way to set up communications between us, if
we take this on? that would be the first step i guess.
