i haven't followed the pd lists as closely as i did a few years ago, but i guess, the situation didn't change a lot since that time ... but beside the technical issues, i had with pd, the social and organizational issues where among the reasons why i started nova in the first place ... > for above reasons i strongly encourage you to go on with the nova > project. and i also hope, that you take the chance to avoid such > troubles beforehand. what i think could be important, is to have some > guidelines about external naming (which is probably the main source of > all troubles in the pd world). imo, the problem is not the external naming, but the need to write externals ... the pd standard library is not very powerful, so people start to write externals ... if the standard library would be powerful enough, there would be no need to write 4 different prepend objects ... > i am looking forward to the day, where i can switch from pd to nova. i hope this is pretty soon, as i am looking for volunteers to do some beta testing :) cheers, tim -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 96771783 http://tim.klingt.org The composer makes plans, music laughs.
