dear Ladies and Gentlemen
i cleaned up my pd-user desktop and merged all directories together. desk2, desk3, desk4, newstuff, newstuff2, newstuff3 newstuff4 ist now all into desk1 agian :)
now there are over 500 patches and patch-collections in desk1. i like pd and its free chaotic structure but i really miss a "central library", a place where _everybody_ can submit patches/abs with only a few rules.
some of my are in cvs and some are somewhere else (i'm sure i'd find them after a while)
some examples (very incomplete list) - s-abstractions (don't know where to find) - jmmmp, list-abs (cvs) - pdmtl (don't know where to find) (what was the mtl again?) - dsplib ???? - rradical, metastudio, pixeltango and lots of other projects - then there is the pdforum and the pdlist with lots of single patches - pd(web)ring with all the awesome sites and patches
how about we start somewhere a new place and agree on some basic rules.
for example - all abstraction have to go to the same directory abs (lets force and fight nameclashes) - all patches have to be in a directory patches (no funky directory naming) - all patches should have [import] for the used extrenals (pd-ext has all the externals and uses import) - ?
install the "central lib" - abs has to be in the searchpath - ?
it's funny to have all the funky names in cvs but they often are just names and don't say anything about what they do nor are they a big help for newbies. zexy, vbap, unauthorized, tb or footils, la-kitchen, nusmuk and so on... where is the church of consistency? ;-)
what are you're thoughts about that?
