A follow up to the Pd-list. This wasn't all too easy and it was a bit clumsy, but I gave my best as an internet stalker and was able to find information on who 'micckfuzz' is, where he teaches, his work email, and got a response. Long story short: I'm now able to edit the FLOSS Manuals book!
But seriously, besides its tutorial (many of which I also have problems with, not to mention how outdated they are), I just think we need to forget about a second and parallel Manual on the wild and bring things to Pd's actual manual. I'll see now how to invite others to this. Anyway, we have a new github page where we're discussing documentation things, for those interested, see https://github.com/pure-data/pddp/issues/22 cheers!
