Well, I"ve had a broth/live-build project focused on PureData on my todo list for the past 6 months or so. My idea was to make it accessible to new comers by starting with just the core and learning how to build it up, add externals, make your own, etc. Keeping it simple, focused on the learning process, and encouraging users to start with this core system and build up the tools they personally use and then "reroll" the system themselves.
All of my live building experience comes from making Debian stable systems (with a little apt-pinning here and there) so everything works well, with the addition of some non-free drivers and such. I think the biggest issue so far has been missing wireless drivers. I don't think it would be too hard to branch Broth to be based off Debian rather than Ubuntu. I'd be interested in trying to hone the scripts down to get a stable Pd study and production system. That said, I'm a Pd noob myself, I was learning Max/MSP a few years back, lost my Mac and came to Linux hoping to get into Pd. Instead I got into Linux :P. So I'd certainly need some help selecting what documents to include, other resources, patches, and so on. Plus, style is always nice. Anyways, I'm willing to keep talking, and I'll have some time to put into actually working soon. I'm trying to complete a live "zine" system for release locally at the end of next week.
