Just out of curiousity, why did this project die? It seems to be one
of the most promising/interesting approaches I've seen to using PD.
Especially because of the severe problems that PD Gui objects
currently cause in terms of hogging CPU...

Although, admittedly it might be just as easy to run PD without the
GUI and send OSC messages with an interface built in (insert program
of choice). Is that why it's obsolete? I've been meaning to try this
approach but haven't yet had the chance.

In fact, generally I've been so busy doing web design + day job +
putting out my first techno releases, I haven't had any PD time, but
I'm dying to get back to a bit of PD work... Especially because I'm
hoping to do some installations next year.
