I've almost finished what i call 'xp4pd', short for extreme programming for Pd. It consists of a client and a server, and multiple people can edit the same patch in realtime. That patch will run locally on each machine, only the control data is going over the network, so it should be quite responsive.
This reminds me of an idea I'm carrying around with me for quite some time now: If we could run the Tcl/Tk GUI in a web browser (using the Tcl/Tk PlugIn) that would make Pd the perfect multi-user tool for the web. One would just open a web page and see the Pd patch (being executed on a server) and be able to interact with other users currently online... Maybe your solution could be extended in that direction since with the way it currently works in Pd one instance of pd is bound to one (or no in case of -nogui) instance of pd-gui and closing the GUI stops Pd. Having the possibility to disconnect / reconnect the gui would be a very nice feature!
That would be cool indeed. Wasn't there a project somewhere to turn Pd itself into a plug-in? Then you'd have the advantage of many processors, rather than having many web interfaces to one machine.
