Lots of people contribute, but I am the person who manages the
releases. Any help is welcome. The path/import/declare stuff is
currently a half-complete effort of Miller's and mine.
Basically up until recently, I was pursing Pd-extended as a proof of
concept for building libraries as standalone binaries in directories
instead of all compiled into one binary. I think that clearly works,
so now it is time to clean things up into a coherent package.
I document what I can here: http://puredata.info/docs/developer/
I don't really know what else needs to be documented. One way to
find out is when people start to contribute, then they find
shortcomings that we can fill in.

Hi, is it true, that only hans is working on the pd-extended releases? are there other maintainers? I got the impression in the past that pd-extended is very useful
(and I personally use it a lot), but development for it is also very
cryptical and almost hidden like a secret. and often things are implemented that seem to be good ideas, but do not really work (like the whole path/import stuff). maybe hans, if you could provide more information and documentation about pd-extended and how the whole integration of libraries works
then more people would be able to help you and development would be more consistent. what is the direction that you want to go? for me pd-extended is the attempt to create a pd distribution that includes as many as possible external libraries in addition to pd vanilla. I love most of the things in pd-ext, although there is
still a lot of work that needs to be done... marius.
