I think that is true not only for code, but also for patches. starting with a clear idea of what patches and parts of patches/modules/externals should do and providing test cases makes patches and even parts of them more useful for the public. atm automatic testing is still very complicated to do (at least I would not know how to write it). but testing could also be "manual". I really like the idea to start patching with a help patch where the object inlets and outlets and functions/features are defined before starting with the external itself. maybe that also would make patches more shareable... marius. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
