[PD] (netpd)U(Pd-extended), Pd-ext bug-tracker (was Re: elitism, software and academia)

[Kyle Klipowicz]

Yes, what I am talking about is not to add 'netpd the whole
application' to Pd-extended, but merely the modules, which are
functional and quite useful on their own.

These seem to be the best developed set of GOP objects that would be
immediately understandable to those coming from the
Reason/Reaktor/AudioMulch/whatever crowd, and would serve as a nice
entry point to Pd even when removed from the context of internet
collaborative performance (which is still a WAY cool concept, Roman!).

In the next week or so, I will start tinkering with some patches to
see how well they integrate in my local Pd-extended distribution. If
the go ahead is there from the netpd community, I'll try to write up a
quick proposal to include these in the Pd-extended distro. Roman, how
would I go about getting permission to distribute the patches in this
way?

If this were to happen, would that require that the patches be
maintained in cvs separate from the netpd application page? I'm pretty
green at this sort of thing, but it seems like something that would be
a great benefit, and which I might actually be able to help with. So
please, feedback anyone?
