If you want to starting on standard libs for Pd, I say just do it.   
Pick a topic and start making a library.  For example, I really should  
finish 'tkwidgets', which is a library that aims to directly expose  
the standard Tk widgets for use in Pd.  I did manage to finish 'apple'  
which is a library of Apple-specific functions like accelerometer,  
light level sensors, brightness controls, etc.  The Thinkpad has lots  
of example code for all this stuff to, so it would be great to have a  
'thinkpad' library.
