Hallo,

I find it a problem that instruments to Pd are
distributed
around the world. Starting from "www.pura-data.org" one has to
spend a lot of time in getting all and in understanding what
instruments are good/needed and what not.
Could somebody reorganize "www.pure-data.org" so that all
instruments are in a directory tree at that site? Then
I could save time and download all, and put the whole
directory to Pd search path.
In any case, forcing one to download all files individually
is a major turnout. This is a problem of many commercial sites
as well (Reaktor) -- like people want buy a software and then
spend month in downloading instruments one by one, three clicks
per download.
Try pure-data.sf.net
There are packages for a lot of externals in one file.
This is actually more a topic for the pd-list, but: The Pd comunity is
huge, for such a kind of software. So it's really hard to get all
these people to agree on publishing their stuff in one single place.
As you mentioned, it's the same problem with Reactor or Max/MSP
patches/externals.
ciao
