Hi there,
	I'm not sure if I'm in the right place...but here goes:

	A number of people on the net (including myself), have an interest
in developing a Software Synthesis toolkit akin to the NeXT MusicKit
(although highly portable and in C++, drawing many ideas from existing
tools such as: cmix, cmusic,csound). At present we have discussions and
some prototype code.
	Most of the presently available packages have links to certain
U.S. institutions. We hope to avoid institutional ties (and centralised
development), it is generally thought that it would be a good Idea to
align ourselves with FSF. What I think we need to know is:
 -Is there any such work already in progress?
 -Is there a "So you want to be GNU?" FAQ
 -Do we need to know anything else about writing software under the GPL?

Thank you for your time.

Ross Bencina.
