furthermore it does not reflect the possibility of sharing help- patches between several objects (like [+] and [-])
In PDDP, every object will have its own patch with a simple clear
example for that specific object. All of the shared help patches
that I have seen are not clear, and I think its a bad design. For
the shared concepts, an "about" patch can be made, and linked to/from
each help patch.
The meta data format is only parsed from the [pd META] subpatch. The meta type is the first part of the comment, its all caps, and its terminated by a colon.
KEYWORDS: addition sum CATEGORY: math
however, if we have an optional(!) field NAME the above problems could be solved to some extent.
important here, otherwise we have chaos. But with CVS, that's not
too hard to coordinate.one important thing i would like to remind you of is that the CVS does not necessarily host all pd-objects. i would very much like a system that is independent of the CVS, but could be fed by it (among other sources, like manual addition)
Of course, then we have to rely on communication and documentation...
scary thought.
