hi all, 

great to see so many mails on this list! ... one after the other ...

yes ... objects store the following data in the npx file, that can be
used for configuration issues:
- argument lists (like in pd)
- attributes (similar as in flext or jitter, but for now, i haven't used
them
- gui data

both attributes and gui data are arbitrary dictionaries, so objects can
store arbitrary data in there ...

one would need two things:
- dynamic patching
- observation of the interpreter state

so, if the interpreter state changes (e.g. objects are
added/removed/connected/disconnected), objects need to be informed in a
way, that can be sent over the network to the other machines (or better
a server, that updates the other clients)

cheers, tim
