hey,
pdpedia is online!
It is a child of the second pdconv in montreal and many people helped putting it up, hans and I finally did the import of the objects and the main layout for the site. I hope you will like it. At the moment we still use the address http://wiki.puredata.info, but it should be www.pdpedia.org in the next days/weeks. (at the moment pdpedia.org is linked to a test site...) The general idea of the project is to have better documentation of Pd, mainly - but not only - its objectclasses. I hope it will become a useful tool to search for objects and ways how to do things in Pd. the search field should really work as a "how do I..." all objects have some basic information like a short description, library, categories, ... but we also dumped text that we found in the helppatches to give a little help for filling in content. that is the goal, to get many people involved in sharing knowledge about how to use the objects, document features, and so on. at the moment we are running without authorization, everybody can edit and create pages (a wiki page is created by putting two brackets around a word like [[this]] then you click on that link and can edit the new page...). If we get in troubles with spam we will have to restrict editing only for registered users, but everybody can register, feel free to create an account. if you see links like Template:blablabla in the beginning: that is a global wiki variable. we use it for all information that is presented on more than one page. for example the URL for a library. just fill in the content of the variable and it will show up on all pages. I don't want to write to much, so I stop, plese send feedback.

Hey, this is really cool! Great work! I am committed to contributing as much as I can.
It would be great to take a really well known object and do a "reference article" to somewhat establish quality standards for the articles, and give lazy editors a template to work from when cleaning up the dumped text. A "see also"/"related" section would be great, like [append]: see also: [list]. (maybe the categories take care of this)
Also, a standard for writing "deprecated by" would be really helpful for old objects.

Another hopefully extensible suggestion: larger libraries with a cohesive purpose should get a standard boilerplate message saying something like "Cyclone is a library for creating Max compatible patches.

almost everything in the infobox is a link. so you can click on cyclone and then you will see the information that you suggested. (although this still has to be inserted).
or "GEM is a library for 3D graphics. For an overview of GEM, see <here>".
yes, the libraries are also categories. at the bottom of the page is always a link to the category, that will give you an overview of all objects of a library.
The Cyclone example is sort of an extension of the "deprecated by" suggestion: in general, it would be nice to direct users to the "right object".
if an object is deprecated it still will have its own page. but of course you can add a link to the "right object", but that has to be done manually. for objects from different libraries but with the same name there will be disambiguation pages that will link to all the objects.
marius.
All good ideas, go ahead and add them! I think with pdpedia, we
don't really need to discuss things too much or ask permission. If
you have an idea, just do it, then we can start building it up. As
it becomes well formed, then we can think about how to handle things
from then.
It would be great if you made a reference article, for example.

This is really an important initiative! Thanks for doing it. I've tried to upload an image for the msd page ( http://wiki.puredata.info/en/msd ) but it sends me back an error when clicking on "upload file" in the toolbox, even if I'm already logged:
Not logged in
You must be logged in https://wiki.puredata.info/mediapool/Special:Userlogin to upload files.

The image stuff isn't quite working yet. I am trying to get a shared
mediapool working, so that all languages can share the images.
Almost there. In the meantime, you can upload them directly to the
mediapool. You can even put in the links, and they'll become active
once I fix everything. You'll need to create an account separately
in the mediapool, and in each language site you want to edit.
http://wiki.puredata.info/mediapool/
This is how you'd make an image refernence:
- upload an image to the mediapool, for example pd-icon.png
- use the normal image reference: Image:pd-icon.png
It won't should up yet, but once I fix it, it will :D

yes, good idea. we already prepared inlet/outlet/arguments/messages but this is really open.
A "see also"/"related" section would be great, like [append]: see also: [list]. (maybe the categories take care of this)
that has to be added for each object individually. sometimes objects belong to one category, then you can go to the category and all objects will be listed there. but of course that is something different than related objects or see also. another nice feature is "what links here" on the left navigation bar.
Also, a standard for writing "deprecated by" would be really helpful for old objects.
yes, we prepared that too, I just turned it on. there is a status field in the infobox where you can add the status ("ok" or "deprecated") just add information like "replaced by...." marius.
hey
great work! thanks a lot to all, who helped realizing that wiki, especially to marius and hans.
i hope, i can contribute as well...
