thanks for sharing.
a couple of very minor remarks:
- - your webpage froze firefox/iceweasel on my eeepc the first time i
accessed it; i assume this is due to the animated tagcloud. is there any
conceptual reason for maaking a navigation aid eat 100% on 2 cores?

once i managed to download it, i only played a few minutes with it, so..

- - when releasing tarballs you should get rid of the .svn folders; these
hold a copy of all files, so you could reduce the size of the unpacked
bundle to about 50%

- - the "magnifying glass" (i think you all refer to the "Patch cord
viewer" (or "cord inspector" how i would call it) by this term), is a
very nice feature.
what i find weird is, that i can only switch to "cord viewing" when in
edit mode; Ctrl-r in Run-mode simple doesn't do anything; i would expect
to switch my patch into run mode if needed

- - the "inlet highlighting" (this looks more like a "magnifying glass" to
me) is a nice idea but it doesn't really help yet. e.g. with objects
that have more inlets then available width (e.g. [pix_info]) you still
have the same problem as before (though a bit bigger); i also think that
the magnification amount is a bit too small, but this might be due to my
very small screen size (at first i wouldn't even notice a real
difference then to the original connection cursor). it would probably be
a good idea to let the user change the amount of magnification)

- - why is the default selection color "orange/red"? is this a pd-extended
thing? for me this is very close to the error-indicating color "red"
(e.g. when an object fails to create)

- - something i think is only inherited from pd-extended, but whiich makes
me shout out loud, is that when i start pd-l2ork it creates a
"pd-externals" folder in my home directory. even if i don't do anything
apart from opening!
i think this is _very_ rude.
