I'm not excluding anyone, or criticising "the community" (not a good term,
but I brought it up). If I would be critisicing anyone, it would be me,
for not having the same interests as the majority.
maybe with that I wanted to say is that I wrote this patch to cater for
another community (classical musicians that play complex music), and so I
thought that it wouldn't be that interesting to this one. like as if I
take massage courses it's not going to be an interesting topic in the list
- although in the next floss book sprint I could offer massages, instead
of portuguese desserts.
surely someone could get something interesting out of it, but from the
posts I read everyday, and the people I know, it's not something many
people are going to say "at last someone did this". more people might say
that about the bezier curve data-structure abstraction I'm trying to
finish, but have no time for now.
There aren't many things you can be sure about what can work in this
community, apart than the fact that if people shared only the things that
are sure have a chance of becoming popular upfront, the whole community
would stop functioning at all and everybody would just leave.
I always do my things for the 1% or 2% of the community that cares about
my patches, because if they can care about my patches, they deserve that
I
don't count them as being part of the community that doesn't care about
my
patches. There are enough people doing the same, that all those
individual
1% and 2% add up to a very large proportion of what's being produced in
the pd community.
