but i don't use pd-extended myself a a lot and actually i don't
know the process of "getting externals into the system".
that is quite easy: contact directly H-C Steiner to get a svn
account, then upload your code - or ask him more about how to do it.
also, i don't know about the policy of pd-extended or where it's
aiming at,
but i guess that the externals that get in there, must have
somehow proven to be useful to many users.
ahhh, there's no policy. anyone who manifests interest in joining
in joins in, I guess. there's also no admittance test, so everyone
just puts in the code he wants (sometimes even buggy code). which
makes the whole a thing not really totally übersichtlich (one of
the GSC projects was to organize and catalog the externals on pd-ext).
but pd-ext is quite used (only hardcore people/code developers
prefer pd-van), and it's the easiest way to make the code available
to everyone. of course it can happen that no one notices it's
there, because there are around 2000+ files in the /extra folder of
pd-ext.
"not really totally übersichtlich", yeah i had that impression, too :)
anyway, thanks for your comments, joão. i'll think about it.
volker.
