Obviously, the first phase in this project is already underway...i.e. a few people show interest in such a project!
What's the next step?
I too am a willing participant. Perhaps Mr. Puckette, or somebody else with intimate knowledge of PD and it's source code, could provide some direction and guidance through the process? What's the first (next) priority?
Regards, Dave Sabine
p.s.: I would suggest that the documentation should be HTML format (rather than pdf, ps, etc.) because:
- everybody with a web browser can participate in development of such a
document. 2. everybody with a web browser can access the documentation. 3. the documentation can provide downloadable examples. 4. etc. etc.

I have to agree that an organised documentation project for Pd would be invaluable.

someone willing to participate.
