just some comment about supernova.

- it exposes parallelism explicitly to the user by adding a new concept to 
the supercollider node graph (one sclang class, one new osc command for the 
server api)
- in contrast to csound, supernova does no automatic parallelization (it is 
actually not feasible for the supercollider node graph)
- off-line rendering is on my todo list (there is no `they', i am the only 
person working on supernova)
- at lac, there have been some discussions about merging the supernova 
sources into the supercollider source code repository. since the lac, i have 
been touring in asia, so i didn't have time to actually work on this. but i 
guess/hope it will somehow happen this year, maybe after the supercollider 
symposium ...
- to make some self-advertising, my master thesis will contain a section 
about parallel csound and how it compares with supernova. i hope, i will 
finish it in the next few months ...

cheers, tim
