Hi, sorry I don't understand this CVS address you give below--Where

They are relative to the CVSROOT. On the web, the CVSROOT is:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/
Also, I don't really know enough about programming generally, and
PD, to write an FAQ. I don't really know the answers to the
questions I posed, which is probably why my PD development hasn't
been too successful, except for one GEM live-VJ project.
So, the best I can do is plagerize other people's work, which I
don't think is a good idea. But if people want to give me
permission to plagarize and modify their words, maybe I could help.
I'm a good editor.
But I am sure you know enough to contribute to a FAQ, at the vary
least editing existing questions, or even better, summarizing threads
from this list. Since all Pd code is free, I think we can all safely
assume that all of the words on this list are free. If need be, we
should make it explicit. As for me, anything I write on this list is
public domain. Its not plagiarism, its collaborative work.
Anyway, if anyone has stuff that could be included in an FAQ, I'd
be happy to try and update the Wiki. Another possibility, I could
ask questions to the list one at a time, collect answers, and post
them to the wiki FAQ, if people think this is a good idea.
That sounds like a great idea if you are willing to do it. If you
made a FAQ entry for each question that you resolved on this list,
we'd all be a lot better off. I have tried on and off to do that...

Its a wiki! Please update it! This page could easily be
included in the Pd-extended distro too.Please have a look at the intro tutorial/manual materials in CVS: doc/tutorials/intro doc/tutorials/sound doc/tutorials/visual doc/tutorials/networking doc/tutorials/physical
This is a start for such a manual, its also included in the test
releases on my site..hc
