It can be delivered with externals. The question is which ones. I am open for suggestions, but it only makes sense to include those that are really necessary.
also, can we know which objects are already there?
Yes, we still have to write docs. There are actually several things that can not be done with the plugin, like reading from the filesystem etc.
This is a serious limitation and we are thinking of including some streaming objects instead.
but it is far more secure to not allow filesystem acess.
Another limitation is that you can only make one patch (no abstractions etc.). We thought about defining some sort of Pd-bundle format in order to get rid of that limitation. In this case we would create a virtual folder inside the plugin and the plugin would work more or less like a standard Pd (without externals still).
why not merge good ideas ? i think that the way the iARS-plugin handles this is quite ok: abstractions and needed externals are kept zipped on the server and are downloaded with the MAIN patch.
so you don't have to bundle pdp/Gem or whatever with the main plugin but with the application (patch)

Well, lot of things left to do.
And then, a gem or pdp plugin on top of this would be cool, but thats another story :)
but why ?
