I agree. I think the current Pd-extended focused manual could be moved to a Pd-extended location for historical reasons.

what's a "pd-extended location" and where is it?

The "main" Pd FLOSS manual should be Vanilla + links or sections to active forks including the original Pd-extended manual. The current manual could then be refactored/updated and existing links would not be *terribly* broken.

It has now come to my attention that we have different versions of this manual. There's an archived version => http://archive.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/

And a new version created two months ago by 'mickfuzz' which is actually the same! https://en.flossmanuals.net/pure-data - The Pd Vanila html manual references to this link, by the way, and also to a french version here: https://fr.flossmanuals.net/puredata/introduction/

Note that the french version is considerably different, so yeah, we have quite some chaos... there are two versions somehow, different and independent unofficial takes on what a Pd manual is and should be and depending on what language you speak you get a different idea and information? :)

Well, I'd love to help sort things out, but I don't know where to start, it's all decentralized in a very messy way.

We need to coordinate the efforts if anything is to be done. I speak no french, for instance

Where are the floss manuals people anyway? Who is 'mickfuzz'? Who's working on the french version?

How could I get involved in the english one?

Thanks
