hm, i'm certainly not against this idea, as i'm not opposed to
sharing what i've done, if it is interesting for others. but i don't use pd-extended myself a a lot and actually i don't
know the process of "getting externals into the system".that is quite easy: contact directly H-C Steiner to get a svn
account, then upload your code - or ask him more about how to do it.also, i don't know about the policy of pd-extended or where it's
aiming at, but i guess that the externals that get in there, must have
somehow proven to be useful to many users.ahhh, there's no policy. anyone who manifests interest in joining
in joins in, I guess. there's also no admittance test, so everyone
just puts in the code he wants (sometimes even buggy code). which
makes the whole a thing not really totally übersichtlich (one of
the GSC projects was to organize and catalog the externals on pd-ext). but pd-ext is quite used (only hardcore people/code developers
prefer pd-van), and it's the easiest way to make the code available
to everyone. of course it can happen that no one notices it's
there, because there are around 2000+ files in the /extra folder of
pd-ext.
"not really totally übersichtlich", yeah i had that impression, too :) anyway, thanks for your comments, joão. i'll think about it. volker.
