There are a lot of platforms for running PD on the web, on tablets, or on 
something other than the native PD GUI (I lack the proper generic term here, so 
I'm going with "external platforms"). These days it feels like a new one pops 
up every few months. I can think of these off the top of my head, but I'm sure 
there are more:

LibPDDroid PartyRJDJMobMuPlatGemmalibHeavy Compilerweb-pd
Would someone be interested in compiling a comparison table for these 
platforms, or does such a list exist already? I'm picturing something like this:

NAME----DEVELOPER----OS COMPATIBILITY-----PD EXTERNALS------ACTIVE 
DEVELOPMENT---ETC

LibPD----Steve-------------Linux/Windows-----------Vanilla only-----------Yes
RJDJ------Betty--------------IOS/Android---------------Yes----------------------No
ETC------

(facts are all wrong here--I've included them just for illustration).

I think such a thing would be important because a: it would help new users find 
the right tools for their own projects and b: it would be a good way of 
promoting these wonderful products. I think there are already enough of them 
that we need such a comparison, and there are still likely to be more in the 
future.

I'm happy to help with this project, although I shouldn't be the one to lead 
it, as I'll only get it wrong. If anyone wants to take it up, please help me 
find a better term than "external platforms", as both of these words already 
have multiple meanings in PD.
