@60hz I'm late to this thread but I only wanted to say that your help files look completely amazing, particularly your help-intro.pd! I've taught Pd in a lot of different ways and I can absolutely see that being extremely helpful to new users. well done!
this is a very wide-ranging discussion, but it's great to see a vision of an approach to some of these issues.

@yannseznec
Thanks a lot! I mixed and modified the work of many people for the interface, and I regulary make change to many help patches and it works better and better with students (I use a top down logic). I hope one day pd will be easier to learn and I won't need this anymore
