While it would be incredibly pretentious of me to even think about proposing pd-l2ork as an upstream standard, What I can share instead is that I welcome all submissions and as was the case with patches submitted so far we try to merge them quickly provided there are no major showstoppers. Even if there are problems, we try to work with the patch and adapt it to better conform or standards. I maintain a public priority todo list and project's primary focus is on maintaining stable environment between the releases. Similarly, if anyone is interested in seriously contributing, I'll gladly get you git access.
HTH
So to keep this from becoming yet another copy of a previous thread in the archive, here's the thing: someone has to step up and say, "I am going to maintain 'core Pd'." That would mean listening to the needs of the community, reviewing patches, and _delegating_ responsibilities.Yes! I really hope someone takes on the challenge. Perhaps we can crowd fund/donate/whatever some of the initial work?
IMO, Pd was such a great invention that it managed to stay rolling all these years despite of the lack of a clear path for contributors and a common upstream but the inertia is dying off now as this thread explains. It's been fascinating for me to see what has happened with OpenFrameworks and their "Do it with others" philosophy. It would be great if the Pd community would migrate into something similar.
Optimistically,Rafael.
