Like when you're getting into PD source you come with the "pd end-user/programmer terminology". Okay, let's find a struct that describes a "patch". Then you look for it and don't find a t_patch or something. Only later you finally realize what you're looking
for is a "glist" which is also aliased with "t_canvas". </div>

Then there is stuff like "t_object" and "t_text" and also "t_rtext" and "t_gobj" hahah</div>

That little description on CHANGELOG.txt was not meant to be a introduction to those structures - that was kind of an accident.</div>

Maybe we could have a file giving a brief introduction on how PD works. Maybe we could open a git repo like the
<a href="https://github.com/pure-data/externals-howto" title="https://github.com/pure-data/externals-howto" data-title="https://github.com/pure-data/externals-howto" style="">
externals-howto</a>.</div>
