Sorry for the cynicism but it's truely a joke we sometimes share when
it's about pd interface.
If you would like to contribute to "upgrading" the UI to something
more contemporary, we could always use more help on pd-l2ork side of
things where the canvas currently uses SVG for drawing all contents
(see http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=2554 for more info). More
so, we are currently starting to port entire gui to qt library which
should make things considerably more flexible/efficient...
I'm allready using pd-l2ork on my linux boxes when I don't use stuff
we can only find in pd-0.45 and greater,
particulary the ability of storing text in datastructure, and when I
don't have to rewrite an install script.
I'm even advising any new comer using GNU/Linux to use l2ork before he
is disgusted by the old interface,
but they are a few, almost all people I know (and sometimes work with)
that would use pd have OSX or Windows and have no clue about how to
install l2ork.
This imply a very tiny collaborative field, which doesn't sound really
reassuring, even if on screenshots this looks great.
Anyway, the use of qt looks promising and might give to me the
opportunity of upgrading my pianoroll interface.
