Yeah, I'd love to help out where I can. I was really bummed that Elephants Dream didn't use FOSS for sound, I think they didn't try hard enough. I've done a lot of very reliable installations using Pd, if it is good enough for the NY Times lobby, it's good enough for Blender. :)
I think that people could use multiple platforms to work on Pd patches, I think for the most part Pd-vanilla/Pd-extended let's you work very much in a cross-platform way. The key to making this work is having a point person, so if someone is willing to be the lead and manage everything, then I think we have a strong proposal. By the way, is the Pablo Martin on the Apricot team caedes (who has done some work with PDP)? .hc On Feb 2, 2008, at 3:26 PM, Dafydd Hughes wrote: > I'd love to take part, although I'm not on Studio64.
