Hi, sorry I don't understand this CVS address you give below--Where do I find these docs?

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.
