Hi, if someone wants to contribute something i feel would be important to Pd, it would go like this:

Create the most feature-using patch ever. Use every option of every GUI object (bang,toggle,sliders,gop,etc) in the most visual possible way. Then we can visually compare what has changed from one version of Pd to another, and thus spot incompatibilities. Please put most of the stuff in only one patcher, so i can easily make a "screenshot diff" (heh) for most of the visual stuff.

Then for the nonvisual stuff (sendsymbols, receivesymbols, etc), use a [loadbang] system that [print] a bunch of values that can easily be checked for correctness. Bonus points if it also is easy to spot where the problem is happening. =)

Anyone willing to be my hero? :-)
