howdy, I was hoping to edit and update the information about cyclone in
https://puredata.info/downloads/cyclone
and
https://puredata.info/downloads/by-category/library
but it seems I have no privileges for that, can someone help me?
thanks

puredata.info features to areas where content belongs to a user (as opposed to the "wiki" nature - everybody can edit - of the rest of the page): the /Members/ are and the /downloads/ area. each software "product" has their own owner, who have exclusive rights on that part of the website - you don't want anybody with an account to be able to take over *your* software.
if you want write access to one of the already existing products, you ought to contact the current owner (Fred Jan) and ask them for write permissions.

Ok, got it, so I'm copying Fred Jan here and requesting a permission to write at it ;)
The thing is that at first glance it seemed it was terribly outdated and just abandoned, cause it still refers to cyclone 0.1-alpha55; but now I see it has this information: "*Typically versions are no longer made available from this page but via source code repositories and the deken tool, build into the latest versions of Pd-vanilla. Some repositories: - https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone
https://github.com/electrickery/pd-miXedSon (currently in maintenance mode)*"
I was just planning on adding this very same information. Maybe add a few more details, like specifying fred's repository is the 0.2 branch and ours is the 0.3 - what I feel it is important now is that we not refer anymore to the old 0.1 alpha55 release (released over a decade ago) as the "current release". the "unreleased" 0.1 alpha 57 is also weird and confusing as it seems is the upcoming release.
cheers

I did add the user 'porres' to the /downloads/cyclone creators list. Editing should work now. While editing, I found these pages less flexible than generic wiki pages. Nowadays for source distribution there is the github site and for binary distribution there is deken. The best these pages can do at the moment is point at the right direction...
cheers

Thanks!
I tried to add Derek too, let's see if it works as well ;)
