pdpedia is for me the closest thing to an object reference documentation.
But it's like one searchable file, like was (is? ) for example the max
reference manual pdf.

pdpedia is definitely searchable, just like wikipedia. I search it
often. I think some of the pdpedia content has fed to the FLOSS

yes, of course. but you need to be connected to the internet, you can't just
have the one file ( or several) on your computer, except if you download a copy

As far as it concerns standards for documentation and especially coding,
have a look at the pd-dev list. If you have experience with writing you can
propose solutions there I guess. Also there have been threads about good
documentation within this pd-list. I remember a discussion about help-files

being the one who wrote that object list in floss, I can say that a

It's not essential to have pd-dev. It's basically a tiny list flooded by
sourceforge notices. Comparatively very little stuff gets discussed on

This is the exact goal of the FLOSS Manual. The site allows a PDF to be
generated from the current status of the manual. I've been encouraging
