hi there, just find out this web thing by sebpiq on the mailing list:
http://sebpiq.github.com/pd-fileutils/

it's basically — sorry my ignorance — a server side javascript framework to do stuff with pd files. one thing this library is capable of is to render pd patches in the browser as svg.

this might be a neat feature to add to the forum, isn't it? i'm a big fan of ascii diagrams for patches but also pasting raw pd code and seeing it turned into graphic svg stuff would be really cool.

questions: does anyone care about this besides me? is it doable at all? who has the privileges here to do some hacking in the punbb engine?
