Just moving this on-list so we can continue the discussion here. See below.

So at the moment I consider the main site to be the one on my domain here:
<http://mccormick.cx/projects/WebPd>
However I can see that this is not the easiest thing for this community to
maintain into the future, and also it stinks, so maybe a wordpress site would
be a good idea. Otherwise we could make some subpage on the pure-data plone
site? What does everyone think?
One thing I think I would like to see is a site that is not so dull as what
I've done. I would really like the unit tests and demos to be featured more
prominently (e.g. make a better and more graphical impression for first time
visitors). Maybe graphic of the demos on the front page linking through? The
work that Brandon and Spencer have done with demos is tremendous and it would
be cool to see that somehow obviously and up-front.
Maybe we should register http://web-pure-data.org or something?
Cheers,
chris.

welcome to the list, and i would love some ui help.
I've got most of the functionality there. but its pretty shakey.
you can build patches, change them, then hear them.
I've only recently figured out how to patch directly into chris's
graph engine. but now playtime begins.
I'm working on a zoom+- button.
do you think a javascript gem is possible? using the canvas?
I'd be very happy about this.
I'm also considering hacking thrown-together max/msp-> pd object
mapping. It won't be perfect, but know of any documentation for the
new .max files?
it's xml now isn't it? if someone knows this stuff better than I, I'd
love some help/advice.
i like web-pure-data.org. I was thinking we could build something like
http://hascanvas.com/
where people say, hey check out my patch - web-pure-data.org/mypatch
or alternatively, web-pure-data.org?p=#X obj 34 35 bang; ....
this could be independent from the main page though. I wouldn't mind.
I can put some money into domainnames or whatever. hosting could be
non-trivial if we get slashdotted and stuff.
maybe we could apply for a mozilla drumbeat grant. or if someone knows
something..
I can ask my old prof if the UVic mus department would host it.
hey brandon, can you add the loadfromstring method from my branch into yours?
then I'll treat your pd.js as the trunk.
gonna show the mozilla audio people the UI demo this week. with the
tentative promise of stability by ff4 RC.
cheers

to host (and design according to everyone's opinions) web-pure-data.org. This
morning I started throwing together an example wordpress site at
fauxpd.net/forum and I can just transfer the code to web-pure-data.org when
it's completed.
From there, we can add each member of this list as a new user with authorship
privileges.
If everyone's on board with this, I can give the person who purchases the domain
my dedicated IP address. Once you direct the domain to that, I'll have
everything up and running in no time.
As for the javascript gem, I rigged one on fauxpd.net by setting up each gem
window in a div as display:none initially. Clicking the "create" object cues
up javascript to display the window and begin playing the applicable video and
sound. I think we could work around pretty much everything that gets more
complicated than that without much trouble.

yours?
then I'll treat your pd.js as the trunk.
