&gt; Do we want pdpedia to just be a reference manual of objects?<div><br></div><div>I think it is a good start. To have a list of Every Object out there, and make clear which are written, and the ones who are not. And discuss in a group of interested people a sort of division of works, strategies... etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A nice and simple model must be followed, we could think about expanding pdpedia for other info later, as I believe this is very urgent.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, I would really love to collaborate, who is there already for me to join? And whoelse wants to join too?</div>

&gt; problem is kinda well solved, right?<br>&gt; But how do you all see the writting of articles? Is it growing out well? I<br>&gt; believe &quot;someone&quot; could also direct how things are going, and that a main<br>&gt; team could work on it by fomenting its development and all...<br>
&gt; right?<br><br>Something like a WikiProject on wikipedia? It would be good to have<br>standards on how articles should be formatted and what kind of<br>information should be presented. I see there has been some effort to<br>
generate a standard layout for an article on an object, with inlets,<br>outlets, arguments and messages as separate sections; but I can&#39;t find<br>a good article to serve as an example for how all articles should<br>look. The best I can find is:<br>

<br>Do we want pdpedia to just be a reference manual of objects, or do we<br>also want to include design patterns such as the [pack 0 0 0 0<br>0]/[unpack 0 0 0 0 0] idiom mentioned elsethread, tutorials, good<br>practices and suchlike?<br>
