I just noticed that PD has four different lists: pd-list, pd-dev, pd-announce, and off-topic. About off-topic it says: - This list is intended to be a forum for the pd-community that allows the discussion of things apart from pure-data. - It is probably a good idea, to subscribe to this list too, since off-topic threads on the main list will eventually be moved to this list (by users, not by the administrator) http://iem.at/mailinglists/pd-list/ I think this is a pretty good idea, even though the signal noise ratio of linux-audio-user/dev is very reasonable as it is. But the lists _do_ have a lot of traffic, and splitting off some of it into a seperate list might be a good idea. Maybe Joern could ask the PD admin if this approach has been satisfying? Maarten
