hi dmotd,
your post is great, it reminded me of all the ideas I had before
starting pdpedia.
my main motivation for working on a pd(pedia) object
database/documentation was to help users (including myself) find the
right object for their purpose and help developers by preventing
redundancy in
yes, i agree that pdpedia/mediawiki has its place, however it is
another resource for documentation that is currently competing with
the plone wiki reference at puredata.org. This means that we have
two distinct references, both apparently supported by the 'pd
community', and frankly this just

hey marius,
okay, well i think we're on the same page here, what you describe
and what's in my head seem to be somewhat aligned. i have a little
bit of time spare at present and a fair bit of experience
developing web based content management systems, so hopefully these
ideas could gather a

What you are discussing feels to me like one of the best issues to
raise up in Round Tables.
Actually, Round tables were said to be proposed here on the list, so
lets talk about this more later on.

sorry, i meant wiki as a shorthand for software revision control, so
that there is a trace history of edits and the database can be
exported at a given revision.
interesting ideas however, i admit i'm not completely familiar with
the JSON format, but i do understand the basis behind this
There are lots of good ideas worth trying. We've talked about it a
lot, we just need someone to take charge of it. I am just too
overloaded to handle pdpedia on top of everything else. Who wants to
own it?

hi folks,
i am somewhat interested in investing some time in pdpedia, but i
have a few concerns with mediawiki as a container for pd related
data.
obviously mediawiki is an excellent versioning platform and has a
strong following for many technical wiki's in the open-source
community. i
I don't think that pdpedia is a replacement or substitute for
interactive help patches. But mediawiki is a great tool for getting
lots of bits of information from a lot of people. So I think that
pdpedia could be used as a place to orgnanize content, like reference
info, links to
It would be good to have
standards on how articles should be formatted and what kind of
information should be presented.
yes I agree. At the origin in 2006..., I have
suggested to some french PDers the following
features:

Do we want pdpedia to just be a reference manual of objects?
I think it is a good start. To have a list of Every Object out there, and
make clear which are written, and the ones who are not.
does this mean that you want to make a reference manual of Every Object,
no

Hallo!
afaik, pdpedia is poorly maintained at the moment. I think there will be
a better solution in the future to get rid of spam and optimize searching

Hi, welll, so someone needs to take over?
I would definately be interested on this. I do, nevertheless, feel I bit

really be an expert on things other than audio/music.
I also consider rather unfair to be the work of only one

Hallo!
I don't know what you mean by clean it up by hand but if you just
mean users deleting spam edits then this is not sustainable. The spam
edits are automated and so they will win any editwar. To combat spam,
