Well there is always:

<http://www.pure-data.info/search?SearchableText=sequencer>

but I guess that's not a complete list of all sequencer abstractions for
Pd. I seem to remember that there is a website specifically for storing
Pd patches and abstractions, but I don't really remember where this is.
I suppose the difficult thing would be in getting everyone to submit
their patches into whatever site was used to archive them. For myself
for example, it's easiest to just provide a link to a tarball of my CVS.

Maybe what we need is a type of search engine for pd patches. One that
can search the net for, and archive .pd files and index them according
to their comments and the text used to link to them. It would be cool if
google could be restricted by file type.

Best,

Chris.
