I guess having stringy things helps a lot now. Wonder if anyone ever written a webserver in Pd? Or something like pd mod-perl module or pd python module for Apache, that would be fun, to make pd behave as a web application component for data views/representation, say you wanted to browse the spectrographs
http://r23.cc/interface/ is a very nice example of audio streaming with server-side Pd. The Google SOC can be about anything, but Pd has these very good advantages over other dataflow languages :
- can be used with no GUI (server-side)
- has many many externals, hence possibilities
- is free (FLOSS)
- patching is somewhat easy
The project could be about patches or externals. It could be focussed on the server-side usages of Pd. One could also use ffmpeg (see http://blog.go4teams.com/?p=56 ) or any other conversion tool on the server-side as well.
