Another thing that'd be nice to make available for new users would be a comprehensive set of generic patches, which would cover the whole range of DSP audio. A little bit like Puckette's audio help patches, only on a higher level (stuff like a basic drum machine, a comprehensive synth, granular synthesis, etc). I know that these aren't impossible to find, but it'd be nice to have it all in the same place.
The "rj" library developed for the creation of RjDj scenes, but also usable outside, tries exactly that. It is all abstractions, all run on Pd vanilla, no externals, not complicated -path setup needed, it has IMO pretty good help files (I wrote most, so I have to say this) and it provides a lot of everyday musician's tools plus some analysis and composition helpers.
It's deliberatly minimal, so that it doesn't overwhelm a newbie user with hundreds of objects. It's philosophy is "often-needed batteries included". For example, from [list]-abs it has a "listmap", "listdrip", "listreduce", "listfilter", "listrandom" and "listnth", but not the other 50 or so list objects. The included objects will solve about 80% of your everyday list-use, for the rest, you can still resort to the full [list]-abs objects. Similar approaches have been taken for other areas.
So far it has proven to be a successful base for many interesting music pieces written in Pd for RjDj. Check out trac.rjdj.me for details.
