                                        You are right:<br>
                                        What I wanted to do here is
                                        trying to equilibrate the
                                        informations. I think it&#39;s much
                                        more relevant for a newcomer to
                                        know what is PD vs Pd extended,
                                        than to know Pd is available for
                                        IRIX. For me the text is more
                                        looking like a technical
                                        explanation around Pd, than an
                                        introduction to the Pd universe.
                                        For example, GEM was not
                                        mentionned once in the whole
                                        text, but cyclone was. In the
                                        end, it is more an introduction
                                        for developpers, than for users.
                                        What I think we must correct.
                                        It&#39;s a matter of balancing the
                                        informations, and to start from
                                        the beginning.<br>
                                        <blockquote type="cite"> I don&#39;t
                                          think we need the extra
                                          paragraph about graphical
                                          programming, but a picture of
                                          an actual patch would tell a
                                          lot (without words).<br>
                                        </blockquote>
                                        I disagree. The whole point of
                                        Pd is patching, but the word is
                                        only used once in the text in
                                        the sentence:<br>
                                        <span>It is easy to extend Pd by
                                          nesting reusable patches
                                          (&quot;abstractions&quot;) or  by 
                                          utilising object classes
                                          (&quot;externals&quot;).<br>
                                          <br>
                                          No words are written on what
                                          is a patch. And I think it&#39;s
                                          totally fundamental.<br>
                                        </span>
                                        <blockquote type="cite">I don&#39;t
                                          support mixing the 3rd and the

                                          (extendability, history).<br>
                                        </blockquote>
                                        If you want. IMHO, Pd
                                        extendability can be introduced
                                        in a sentence where Pd basic
                                        usage needs a paragraph. Max

                                        <br>
                                        <br>
                                        I think as well the sentence
                                        from the 4th paragraph:<br>
                                        <span>The core of Pd (aka Pd
                                          Vanilla) 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>
                                          is redundant now.<br>
                                          <br>
                                          It should be nice to have
                                          other opinions on all that?<br>
