I'm totally supportive of "forking" whatever translation comes up. The 
reason that the Pd FLOSS Manual will never be "finished" is that Pd can 
do some many things, and the docs all arise out of individual people's 
research and needs. So if the PT scene has other stuff they are 
interested in, and skew their manual in that direction, good for them!
