hi Guenter,
the same lack of time is exactly why `we' are not ``doing it in a more structured way''...
... yes, it might be the lack of time that we are not even talking about doing it in a more structured way. This is a mistake in my opinion, doing things in a strucured way sometimes even saves you time :) But it only works if people agree on doing it that way.
Its like, hey do you want to have 2 hours more a week for free, just say yes and you have it. (This is very optimistic, I a agree, structuring such an effort as writing pd externals can backfire).
I would have built and hosted a CVS repository, but with no positive answer from any external developer it doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
So lets live on in the middleages of free software development :)

Also: most of the 65 packages are in a more or less alpha stage. I do not think it is a good idea to make people think they can depend on them (I am _not_ speaking about ggee, zexy, iemlib and some others).

This way, I have just downloaded 65 (!) packages of pd externals, and I feel like I don't have the motivation nor the time to make this ready for demudi packaging, not speaking of debian packaging ...
