i'm sorry i have really no idea about how to go about doing stuff on the internet, or otherwise i'd try to set something up by myself, but we REALLY need a place where any pd users can upload their works.
i know there is a wiki thing on the iiem site. but barely anyone uses it. i think the main reason being that it's a bit of a headache for simple people such as myself.
hmm, being an advocate of the puredata.info site hosted by iem, i wanted to ask why you think uploading files is too hard.
so i just thought i'd open the doors for some discussion of this topic.
what are your ideas?
i think we really just need something where people can upload a patch or zip file with one click, and then write a description of it.
so the steps currently required are:
- click on "add file" (1.5 clicks)
- browse to the file you want to upload (at least 2 clicks)
- write a dscription of it
this makes at 3.5 clicks compared to 1 click (but i guess the "1 click" was not to be meant literally).
i cannot really think of something more simple.
in practice things are a bit more complicated: you have to know where you can click for "add file"; and the list of items you could add might be longer than what you really want to see.
