- with self explaining naming?
The problem with that is that long names still don't say how it works, and as people learn how it works, they don't need long names anymore, and it gets in the way a bit. What you need is not long names, it's a system so that mouseover would show the descriptions that you'd otherwise look up in help-intro.pd, and that are often missing for externals.
wasn't that tooltip feature implement in desiredata? maybe one could port this as a own GSoC project to puredata.
i don't think names have to be fully self explaining, but at least that you get the clue of what the abstraction might do. rjlib and pdmtl seems pretty nice.
