The discussion about the Pd-extended reanimation left one question open: What exactly is it, that people miss in vanilla compared to extended?
Is it the inclusion of a whole lot of externals and abstractions in one package? Debian/Ubuntu/Mint users already have an easy access to all those, because many of them have been packaged.
A possible implementation to bring the same convenience to the other platforms would be a kind of a repository in Pd itself. A lot of softwares do that. Think of: browser add-ons, eclipse packages, atom modules, the node.js package manager or Processing.org libraries.
In Pd this may even be a GUI-Plugin that allows for searching in meta information added to the Pd externals/abstractions on sourceforge. And a click to download and install them.
If you open a patch with an unknown object in it, the plugin could offer you to search for it in the repository.
Just an idea.

For me the list is large enough to have warranted a fork. Here's just one to get us started: more than one step of undo. On Sep 23, 2014 10:31 PM, "Max" abonnements@revolwear.com wrote:

Max, a friend was giving me the exact same ideas, I hope he joins the list and discussion. I think this is a great idea and certainly does the trick for being an extended of some sorts.
Nonetheless, I for one like to use extended for some other silly purposes as well, just cause it looks a tiny bit nicer, for instance - I got used to it!
In the latest release, Pd-Extended had many new design and GUI features, that's something people might miss. I'm still in 0.42-5 as I think the new version seems unstable and buggy.
Cheers
