i just set up a new wiki for pd, aimed at providing a simple and easy way for pd users to share their patches / tutorials, etc...

There is also the http://puredata.info website people can use. For tutorials for instance folks can add to http://puredata.info/docs/ tutorials

I'm all for centralization; however, I've never liked the puredata.info layout

and setup. When you find a link to a file, you first have to visit the page where the file is listed, and for those of us in remote parts of the world without the best internet connections, it sucks to have to wait for one more page, when you could just as well start the download immediately.

An author can link to yourfile/download i.e. foo.mp3/download so that it doesn't display the page of the file. probably more a pdweb topic.

what i really miss is an (central?) file-archive for patches and abstractions where everybody is allowed to submit their work. so far we have many different location: puredata.info, cvs, forum, pd-list, netpd, tons of websites, etc

also downloading the whole in tar.gz or .zip would be nice.

maybe we could agree on some basic rules? like having a directory that is in the searchpathes.

hans pointed out that we could do something like that with netpd. it more or less reducing netpd's functionality and running a user somewhere to send/get patches.
