My username on flossmanuals is soundsleit

PS:  I haven’t looked at the floss manual extensively, but I do have to say:  I 
do use the princeton / stanford references ALL OF THE TIME, and I generally 
find the layout and formatting to be quite good and useful.

The problem is that it is just not updated, and is missing TONS of info.

I think what I’m hankering for is a general purpose quick reference where there 
are proper descriptions and definitions for all built-in classes / ugens.  
Something like what currently exists for Unity or Processing…?

But yeah, if it seems like the Floss manual is the way to go, I’m willing to 
help out where I can, since I’m doing a lot of chuck USING these days… 
particularly in light of Chunity…  For that matter, I’m willing to help update 
the other sites too… it would be nice to synchronize a bit...
