I get confused as to what is meant by latest CVS code versus 0.39.2  
and versus devel branch. I mean, the current release of millerPD is  
0.39.2, then there's the CVS state, then there's the devel branch,  
which right now stands at 0.38.4.

So. When you say I should work with 0.39.2, do you mean I should get  
the tarball release, and compile against it instead of the cvs  
release which sits amongst:

abstractions    extensions      packages        scripts
doc             externals       *pd*

?

Where do you keep those lists? I realise there's the PD bug tracker,  
but that's for different purposes...Would you welcome using something  
like Backpack to share todos and progress and to be able to easily  
assign (or take ownership of) pending todos?

I've used Backpack for a few projects, and I think if there is to be  
a coordinated effort to help you do the huge job you're trying to do  
here, it would help. It's free, too ;-)
