Or we could co-mentor - whatevs. You've written the proposal and librification (sorry I couldn't help making up that word) isn't exactly a strong point for me. Neither is cross platform thinking. And if this were a project I'd like to see it done well. If I can support you Chris of course I will. I'm glad we already have one student interersted, this is an important step for Pd imho. -- Use the source _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
