-<H1>Pure Data External Repository</H1>
-
-<H2> Introduction</H2>
-The Pure Data external reopsitory is meant to be a place where developers of externals
-for the Pure Data computer music system can put their code. For information about PD,
-look at the <A HREF="http://www.pure-data.org">Pure Data website</A>.
-
-<H2>How to download the PD externals</H2>
-
-ANN:This is preliminary information, later it will be just downloading a source tarball or
-the precompiled binary distributions.
-<p>
-You have to install cvs. On most Linux system this is already install, on Windows or MACOS/X
-you will have to download it from the net (TODO: add link).
-</p>
-Then, if you have cvs install (this example is assuming the commandline version) use the following line
-to login into the CVS server:
-<p>
-cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.pure-data.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data login
-</p>
-hit return when you are asked for a password.
-In order to get the source:
-<p>
-cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.pure-data.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co externals
-</p>
-<h2>How to put your externals in the repository</h2>
-
-<h3>Why you should care</h3>
-<p>
-PD has a huge user base, we are all enjoying to work with PD. But sometimes when you do a big project
-there are some things that you want to do, but it is not possible to do it by patching only.
-Thats why so many different people wrote lots of externals for PD, and most of them (I hope so at least)
-are putting them on the web for free download.
-</p>
-<p>
-It has become increasingly hard to have the overview over all these externals, thats why we started this
-external repository, where developers can add their externals. This way it will be easier to manage the
-externals, update orphaned externals, distribute compiled versions for different systems, avoid duplication
-of effort, and finally the users have the advantage of beeing able to download it from one single place.
-</p>
-I could go on listing advantages of this system, but there is one big disadvantage. We have to work
-on it inorder to make it a sucess. We have to learn CVS, we have to import our projects into the
-repository. I think it is worth this work, because you gain a lot too. If you donīt have the time to
-get into this, but still agree that your external becomes part of the repository, just write me an email
-(ANN: link to email).
-<h3>The procedure</h3>
-<p>
-To contribute your pd externals to the repository you have to register yourself at sourceforge first.
-(You will be a official developer of the project then). Go to sourceforge.net and click on the "new
-user" link on the upper left corner. Then send me an email and tell me the user you created, I will add
-you to the pure-data developer list then.
-</p>
-<p>
-You can see at the
-<A HREF="HTTP://sourceforge.net/projects/pure-data">project page</A> if you are already listed as
-a developer. The next step is to "import" your source code. First make sure that your code is in a
-directory, and remove everything from that directory that you donīt want to put under CVS.
-Compiled code, for example, is not put into CVS, normally.
-</p>
-Make sure you are in this directory and issue the command:<BR>
-cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@cvs.pure-data.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data import externals/dirname developername source<BR>
-If all of this went well, move away your external directory (keep it as a backup) and checkout the code
-with:<BR>
- cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@cvs.pure-data.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co externals
