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.

Count me in ... I think we just need to make a wiki page and all agree on patching conventions as well as who can/should do what ... 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.
