which maintainer?

what i'm talking about is a middleware software (a standalone proxy),
that handles the connections from both Pd-core and Pd-gui.
this is possible.
it has already been done (in a different context  -"peer data").
back then i implemented the middleware as a Pd-patch.
there is no maintainer who could accept anything.

if you are talking about modifying ("patching") the Pd-core so it would
allow dis/connections from an independently started Pd-GUI, then I am
the wrong person to ask: miller reads this list, so you could ask him
directly.

btw, i seem to remember that at miller's last visit to Graz we talked
about this very feature and he seemed to be in favour.
so i guess, if a patch against Pd-core follows the coding style and is
"not very" intrusive, chances are high that it might get included.
