One of the download sections is labels "distros". Not good enough?

> This is probably overly ambitious but existing objects or patches for vanilla, pd-extended and 'unauthorized' contributed extensions would be great to see described possibly in a simple table form grouped by category, or even better, tagged in multiple searchable ways in a database. i ran into a website listing all of the available objects and contributions from around 2011 and actually started to pull everything off and reorganize everything into a database in Filemaker but got too busy to do anything with it. ideally some indication or form that could be updated by each contributor would be useful. i would propose a form that at least highlights the following:
>
> name | object or patch | category tag/s | vanilla or collection name (like cyclone) | description(short) | distributions (extended, l2ork, whatever) | documentation/example of patch | dependencies (which, if any)

> this would sort out objects from patches and especially objects/patches that rely on other libraries to be installed to work. if things were organized correctly PDDP might be able to pull its info from this centralized database, which might help cut down on redundant efforts.
