[PD] Announcing "RRADical Pd"

[Chris McCormick]

Frank,
This is a way cool idea and something I've been working on in my spare
time to help out friends who are new to Pd. If I wanted to contribute a
bunch of small GOP modular-synth units (very simple things, just
abstracting svf~ + slider, simple gop delay unit etc.), where 
would I do that?

Regards,

Chris.
