Is there any "Community" repositories yet?

Hello all, I spent this last weekend working on a piece using ChucK, and quite frankly, it was something that I had implemented using PD, but was never really able to get one part to work successfully (probably more due to a design flaw or something). But, I was very happy to say that, using ChucK, I not only got the basic parts to work, but I also got the part that I was having trouble with in PD. I am very impressed with ChucK. So, basically, I would like to start posting some of these things to get some feedback from others, as well as some critiques of both the programming as well as the resulting music/sound construction. Is there a part of the WIKI that can be accessed by regular users to post some things? Or should I just post something to the list here (as an attachment)? Thanks, Mike

You should post them on the WIKI in the ChucK Progams section. http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK_Programs There are other examples of ChucK programs there. We are probably going to clean this up a bit. I have been doing a bit of work to make the WIKI a bit more useful and clean. I am certainly interested in your patches and hopefully they will give the wiki a bit more traffic so we can all post our stuff there. --art

I don't think it is a "probably", it has to be fixed, as the things that are posted there are nothing but gibberish. It looks like this is one of the few "forums" (for lack of a better name) that is being hosted by this WIKI, so it might be that there is little resources for the administration of the software. Are there any restrictions as to who can access and update things? I would be more than happy to help out in getting some things fixed and additional things added. Do they have a policy about non-students getting access? Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike, The key thing with all of this is time. We are all busy and so far the wiki has been low priority. Last night we found that a certain blackjack site had attacked the wiki and ruined all of the code entries. It has been like this for a long time but nobody has been using the wiki so there were no complaints. The wonderful sysadmins at princeton are in the process of reinstalling the whole wiki program and restoring it to a working state. We got attacked because the wiki is open, anyone can edit it. When it comes back online, hopefully today, it would be great if you would post your code and help us make it into something that more ChucKers would use and be interested in. -art On 20-Jan-06, at 11:32 AM, Mike McGonagle wrote:

I hope that my words weren't taken as a criticism, as I do understand that time is very limited... having these things available is wonderful, and very much appreciated.

One of the biggest bonus' of a WIKI is also its greatest weak-point. It is sad that there are a few people who make life difficult for others... I did notice that, while some of the code pages display as gibberish, if you try to edit the page, it will present the code as entered. So, do you think that I should go back in and make the changes to these things, as Ge said that they were due to how the WIKI handles the "PRE" tag? Thanks again, Mike

I think the wiki upload page has always been disabled, but this may change soon with the upcoming reinstall (see below).

As Adam mentioned, we are working with our systems staff to improve the wiki. Most likely a new version will be installed, and we will manually migrate the existing content to the new one, and doing house cleaning in the process. Also, new security policies will be in place to deter spammers. The gibberish is caused by incorrect wiki rendering of the HTML <pre> tag. Pages that insert blank spaces before lines of code will show up correctly, such as here: http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/Snare.ck In the meantime, if you you can hit 'edit' to look at code that has been transformed into gibberish.

...

I think the wiki will always be world-writable. In the upcoming wiki, you will have to register on the wiki to be able to edit pages (one attempt to reduce spam). We look forward to forging the wiki back into shape. Thanks! Best, Ge!

As I have said, I would be ready to volunteer to edit these things, I just don't want to take it upon myself to do this, without some sort of "go ahead".

yeah, I found this out. Thanks.

Great. I will try to add the stuff that I have done. Mike
