I support all documentation efforts, of course, and GridFlow does sound  
quite useful, but I have to say, you don't need C, C++, or GridFlow to  
write your own Pd objects.  You can write Pd objects in Pd itself.

Looking forward to those docs, so we can sway more Jitter users to the  
open-source side of Max.

glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and  
this we should do freely and generously.
