[Om-synth] patch repository

[Atte André Jensen]

Hi

A while back Dave expressed a wish for an online repository for sharing 
om patches. Are there any news on this?

For a new commer a bunch of patches would make om much more accessible. 
Both for learning and for instant playability. This is something that is 
missing with most OSS soft synths.

Although I might play with other peoples patces, were they there, the 
main reason I'm asking is that I'm starting getting more into om now, 
and I'm generating some patches that I'd like to share...

For me the main features of such a repository are:

1) Up/download possible by script or other automated thingy. I'll 
probably not use it a lot if I have to log in to a web-site and browse 
around.

2) Some kind of grouping or ordering besides the obvious name, date and 
size. Dave already mentioned this...

Would it be an idea to integrate some kind of client to the repository 
in om_gtk? A friend of mine is one of the mian developers on the open 
source cms typo3 which has this ability. In this case its modules 
offering different addon functionality, but the idea is the same: 
instant access to a common pool of information. Just a thought, not even 
sure what I think of it myself :-)

BTW: For now I updated my om patch tarball 
(http://www.atte.dk/om/attes_om_patches.tgz) with a couple of new 
patches, so...
