I like the idea of being able to download vanilla and then download other externals as needed, Gem for instance. Currently, I've been copying in the prebuilt externals from Pd extended to use with newer versions of vanilla.
Of course, this wouldn't be needed if we could set up more of a concerted release schedule to crank out newer versions of extended. I also like the work Hans et al. did for pixel perfect patches across platforms. I'd like to see that incorporated into vanilla as it makes sense.
I see the autobuild server is still up. Does this still build for all platforms?

A core idea of having a standard format for libraries is to make them easily packaged and distributed. There are lots of libraries that follow https://puredata.info/docs/developer/LibraryTemplate, so the next step is for someone to make something like https://pypi.python.org as the central repo of libraries that includes an update/download tool.
As for the auto-build servers, I think only the Debian ones are still running. The Windows one was on a server that died, and the OSX was an old laptop that is basically dead. It was running 10.5 anyway.
For anyone who can set up a Windows and/or OSX build machine, they were super helpful for maintaining cross-platform compatibility. Here are the docs:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/WindowsMinGW http://puredata.info/docs/developer/MacOSXFink
These all have some info, but need work: http://puredata.info/docs/developer/MacOSXMacPorts http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Windows64BitMinGWX64 http://puredata.info/docs/developer/MacOSXHomebrew
