Just a thought : wouldn't it be useful to create a pd-Raspberrypi@iem.at mailto:pd-Raspberrypi@iem.at address ? I get the feeling that there will be more and more messages about this new platform which may not necessarily be interesting to pure Pd users.
hmm, i don't have a problem with creating another mailing list, but i would like to keep in mind:
- many questions that arise in the context of the rpi really are not
intrinsically related to the rpi. e.g. this thread "textual pd primer", is really about running Pd on a headless machine, which is more universal than an rpi.
- there are a lot of questions (e.g. how to open midi-files) on topics
that are not necessarily interesting for "pure Pd users"...but then, what is this "pure" thing?
- in retrospect i consider it a mistake to have split the "pd-ot" list
from "pd-list": in 2012 we have a total of about 22 mails on that list (so it's virtually unused), whereas there are still "[OT]" mails on Pd-list, and i don't see a real reason why to ban the occassional OT mail from it. the rpi is a relatively new thing and people who recently received there copy, start running Pd on it. hence we had a couple of rpi-related mails in the last few weeks. i expect this to go back to "normal" pretty soon.
but again, if a sufficient number of people demand a mailinglist for RPiD, i will happily create one.
