One idea would be to distribute PD with as much stuff as possible, making sure all files (externals, help patches, documentation, etc) are packaged in a consistant way. It really is difficult for beginners to use and enjoy PD in the first place, and that should not be the case.
Pd is still a beta-release 0(!).36, but still this idea sounds good to me, too. plus a small setup-program where the settings are done (sound/midi-devices, buffers, ...), self-installing to user-defined directory and coming with all available externals, also including a renewed 0.intro.txt reference-file. yes, yes, at least for all windows-users this would be a great feature...
