I've had an idea for a long time for a web interface to the patches
that people post to the pd-list. Basically, lots of really great code
is posted to the Pd list, but it is not very easy to find it there.
What if there was a searchable database of all patches posted to the
pd list. You could search by object name to see all patches that use
a certain object, then download it.
I think that someone who was a decent web programmer could do this.
Perhaps using something like Lucene, or really whatever. Is it worth
a summer of code project?

Hallo!
It sounds nice, but do they support such projects ? IMHO building websites and similar things are more documentation, which is not allowed.
Maybe you should ask them ...

Hi
Quick question
I am searching for an object to handle patch memories.
I just want to be able to capture the values of nine sliders to a few
different memory locations to act as presets but I can't seem to find
an object to do this.
Which object should I be reading about?
If I knew the name I could find put about it :)
cheers
Geoff
What would really be tops is if this could somehow automatically do a screen grab of the path so you could see a screenshot before downloading.
Neat Idea. Right now I just keep all these tidbits in a /pd-list dir on my comp.

hey hans,
for what its worth, the pd-list is indexed on markmail.org, which has a very powerful search facility.
a simple query of: [list:at.iem extension:pd writesf~] finds a post on any of the pd lists, with a reference to writesf~ and a attached pd file..
or if i want to stalk you and every patch you have ever posted: [list:at.iem extension:pd from:"Hans-Christoph Steiner"]
trying to index a mail database is in my opinion quite outside the scope of pd documentation, even if it could make trawling through list archives simpler. i would certainly hate to be the student whose job it is to maintain a database of current or previously submitted attachments.. even if this job was automated, sifting out peoples problem posts from the articulate solutions is about as much fun as sorting spam on hotmail.
i essentially like the idea but i really think this comes down to a few disciplined people on the list wanting to maintain a slice of puredata.org/pdpedia every time they see a piece of pd magic.
cheers,
