I'm right up for that. Although truth be told I'd almost certainly miss the theme/challenge on the forum if it wasn't posted on the list. Not too spammy, really. Could be that possible themes are submitted by users? Just I'm working on a ruby/pd patch to get a clean feed of CPU usage in linux, could be a starting point (I.E. where would people take this real-time data collection).
I digress, would be right up for this... If I can put some time asside, would folks like me to put together a web app to manage, say, a monthly theme, patches, comments on submissions and suggestions?

Yeah, the compressed/chip patch thread was what prompted me to bring it up... would it be too spam-like to post new themes to the pd-list as well once the thread is created on the forum? I personally check the lists at least once a day and hardly ever check the forums... and if it will be somewhere between weekly-monthly it wouldn't be flooding the list much.

gravitate toward (or at least participate more) to the forum. I think
this would be a great way to help new users develop some chops.

i'll set it up if a few more people agree it will be a good idea. not every
week though..every now and then should be fine.
i think it might be cool, not really as a 'competition', but more as a way
to focus and see how other people approach something. The "compressed/chip
patch" thread we have going now is a great example. I have had a lot of fun
with that.

Hello list,
I'd always thought it'd be fun if there was a patch contest similar to the
Fark Photoshop contest threads. Is there already something similar happening
in the Pd community? If not, how easily could this be integrated (if there
is enough interest) and how? Maybe it could be a sublist, like [ot] or
[pd-announce]... or just a specific tag in the subject line. It wouldn't
have to include the voting aspect that Fark has and it could change
theme/concept once a week. Is there any interest in this?
