Hello,<br>
<br>
The proposition i made is totally open to discussion and correction
(my english is a bit crappy...)<br>
<br>
I did not mention libpd or pd-anywhere cause there is no mention of
any pd projects in the text i've submitted: no Gem, no Pd-extended.
In this case, i see no reason to only mention libpd.<br>
But you can add a paragraph or a sentence with the main projects
(and i agree, libpd is one of these)<br>
<br>
I am totally against making publicity for electronic arts in this
text: keep in mind that it may be a copied text in many different
contexts to introduce pd.<br>
<br>
You're right, it lacks a paragraph describing how a user work with
pd. Maybe between the second and the third ones?<br>
<br>
Best<br>

something saying it being the sound engine of the top selling game

<div>that's a strong feature of Pd that not many other

<div>If it's political, then let's discuss it, but I think

<div>Also, the text (and also the old one) do not mention
anything about how really Pd works.</div>

<div>It doesn't make much sense that if someone wants to do

very busy at the moment and can't do as much as
I want.<br>
<br>
Here is a proposition for a new intro text:<br>
<br>
Pure Data (aka Pd) is a real-time graphical
programming environment for audio, video, and
graphical processing. It is the third major
branch of the family of patcher programming
languages known as Max originally developed by
Miller Puckette and company at IRCAM. The core
of Pd is written and maintained by Miller
Puckette and includes the work of many
developers, making the whole package very much a
community effort.<br>
<br>
Pd was created to explore ideas of how to
further refine the Max paradigm with the core
ideas of allowing data to be treated in a more
open-ended way and opening it up to applications
outside of audio and MIDI. Pd offers a wide
exploration field : realtime multimedia creation
(sound, video, 3D), physical interfacing
(sensors, kinect, joystick), motor control, data
computing... and is used by a diverse community
of people: musicians, visual artist,
researchers, developers, performers... <br>
<br>
Pd is a free open source software software and
is designed to be easily extended by writing
patches ("abstractions") or new objects
("externals") . The work of many developers is
available as part of the standard Pd packages
and the Pd developer community is increasingly
growing. Pd was written to be multi-platform
and therefore is very portable; versions exist
for Win32, IRIX, GNU/Linux, BSD, and MacOS X
running on anything from a PocketPC to an old
Mac to a brand new smartphone. <br>
<br>
This Pd-Portal<br>
This site is a contribution of the IEM to the Pd
community. Everybody using Pd is welcomed to
join and write/contribute some documentation,
reports, news, announcing events and add
comments.<br>

<div>So, I'm fiddling with the home page.
<div>The textual content is clearly out of
date.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just moved up and down some
paragraphs to give prominence to the
real thing first, and the geeky thing
after.</div>
<div>Also added a mention about libpd and
rjdj which was missing.</div>
<div>If there's anything political about
that let me know and Ill take it out.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, we need to reformulate this:</div>
<div>"Recent developments include a system
of abstractions for building performance
environments; a library of objects for
physical modeling; and a library of
objects for generating and processing
video in realtime."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These are the "recent" developments
from 2009 I take it.</div>
<div>Is somebody willing to reformulate
this statements making it more related
to present advances?<br clear="all">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking for some pics, possibly
keeping the same subject of the old
pictures.</div>
