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been replaced by a goto10 project (that reach much wider in scope though) and more importantly - to put it diplomatically - the publishing scheme is not compatible with the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.
I don't understand what the replacement is?
- There should instead be made weblog sync point for Pd related
weblogs posts á 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.
This sounds very useful. I think perhaps it could be a module in puredata.info. It could also be a separate server/site if someone else wanted to host it, something like blog.puredata.info. I think IEM does enough, it's good to share the work load. Of course, I have no problem if IEM (namely, IOhannes) wants to host it.
- 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.
To me, this sounds like the exhibition as we originally planned it. IIRC, you basically had it setup, we just needed to launch it. The idea of having it curated with a ban on self-posting should help the ego. I think this in conjuction with the blogs would work well.
