Hi,
in the Downloads area at pure-data.org there are some broken links to my externals and abstractions. Who can I contact with updated information?

Me.
Or you can report the links as broken using the web interface.
I want to replace pure-data.org with a simpler bulletin board system that just reports news and gives users forums to type at, and doesn't maintain any sort of database of links to pure data externals. I think there are better mechanisms for cataloging the externals than what pure-data.org has, namely the pure data base and CVS repository at sf.net. At the same time as I write this, I have a huge amount of work in front of me, so I don't know when I'll get to implement my pure-data.org ideas. :( But, if some long term strategy of yours depends on the downloads section of pure-data.org for some strange reason, please know that it may go away in 2003.

P.S. If you want to do serious work on pure-data.org's links section, let me know and I'll give you privileged access.

Ah, yes, now I remember. :( It was someone with "j", but not Iohannes...

Thomas Grill already mailed me and showed me the "Modifiy" link on the Details page, that I missed. This may be the better way. I tried the broken link button, but with that I couldn't tell anyone of the correct links. Probably it's already there, and I missed it, too, but I think a "Contact the admins" mailto link for pure-data.org would be fine.

The pure-data base would be a great place, but I think, pd.sf.net should only report on the externals in the CVS. I did start a simple page for that now. I could try to make that more automatic, as do web development somehow professionally, but I fell in love with the Webware python application server, and this doesn't run on Sourceforge unfourtunatly. And developing outside Webware, outside my code repository is too much work for me than I have time to spare.

I don't depend on it, but there still is interest from time to time in some abstractions by me, notably the old pdx7, and most people find it through pure-data.org and then ask me, where to download it.
To me, this shows how well accepted pd.org is in general. It simply is the most general pd-site there is, IMO, and it has the coolest domain name.
