This reminds me, we really need that gallery section on puredata.info to show stuff like this off... It was so close to completion, anyone want to take it live?
First off, i'm the slack bus-hit someone that didn't complete the gallery (ie. the exhibition) section mentioned.
I have been meaning to get back about it, but decided to not do it till i had more solid things to offer then ideas. Well, now i'll have to push in the ideas without the solid stuff. I'll be brief and leave out (most of) my reasons:
* I think the exhibition section should be discarded. It has in parts been replaced by a goto10 project (that reach much wider in scope though) and more importantly - to put it diplomatically - the publishing scheme is not compatible with the target community.
* There should instead be made weblog sync point for Pd related weblogs posts รก la ProcessingBlogs. It should be simple to manage: Anyone wanting their Pd related weblogs posts to be in the common feed should supply a feed url with a "tag" for the Pd related posts in their feed. Either to a person doing the management (could be done in turns) or if possible through the IEM/Pd.info/plone-setup thing.
* Also there should be a concise wiki page with examples of what could be done with Pd. People writing that would want to suppress there ego for a second and think about what newcomers would most- likely want to see when looking into what Pd is by what can be done in Pd. Also therefore it shouldn't seek all the outer limits but include stuff like a simple algo-composing and loop-sampler example.
