Hi Chuckk,
There's currently a fairly general project idea regarding plugin APIs. If you'd like to amend that one or add a new project
idea, please make a merge request here:
If you add a new one I'd suggest keeping it fairly concise. That way the students will flesh out more of
the details in their proposals.
The way GSoC works is that the students choose which project ideas they want to work on. (Or suggest their
own.) Then they submit an application. Adding this idea to the list will increase the likelihood that someone
chooses it. You can also try to seek out a student with the skills to complete it and persuade them to apply.

> VST has unfortunately been completely removed from Csound in response to Steinberg's aggressive approach, old CPS seems not to work anymore, and yes, PD's plugin possibilities are unstable. There are Distrho PF and iPlug2 and Faust, but none of these allow hosting, only being hosted. Other than that, to write software that hosts as well as plugs VST, it's Juce or Steinberg's SDK.
A few years ago, it seemed like this functionality was cropping up everywhere. Today it has disappeared. I for one would be thrilled to see this happen.
