There have been some ideas circulating on the PdMailingList about a
"Web Site about the use of pd" - generally speaking we are missing
a forum to share pd patches and to announce or document our
works done with pd. I put this quotation from *Nicolas Lhommet* at the list as a starting point:
![...] I'm always thinking "It would be nice to get
a lot of examples from the different users, and i'm sure someone else has
done this or that before". It's nice to re-invent the wheel, it helps you to
understand better, but sometimes, I would like to go on an website, click on
"users/generic/reverbs" and find fifty differents reverb patches, with a
little description of each patch and the mail adress to contact the person.
Or "external/control" to find an external for joystick control. The Pure
Data Base is a search engine so you can't easily access to the whole list of
files with arborescence.
A website which collects informations about a lot of projects, with patches
(even buggy), would be nice. And why not : collected informations about
specific soundcard/system, like "I got a Soundblaster AWE64 with Redhat 6.2,
I got glitches, but with options "- frags 5 -fragsize 11" and OSS drivers,
it's allright". And a big links page with different sections : projects,
external, sound drivers, useful signal theory, ...
Yes, we got "Miller's page":http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/, "http://www.pure-data.org":http://www.pure-data.org, "http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd":http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd,
"Guenther Geiger's links page":http://gige.xdv.org/pages/pd/pages/links
but I think it could be a good idea to centralize this
a bit more, and we should try to find the best way to share our knowledge
about Pd.
