Yeah.....think so....I'd really like to start a competition...Maybe we
should have a virtual meeting
in this list or on an IRC channel with volunteers of the Csound list.....We
could post banners
on major websites and personal websites to announce a initial meeting to
let idea's stream in order to find a more solid shape of the competition !

My contribution to the FrogPeak CD was done entirely in csound.  I'm sure
there are a number of other csound on the disk.  It's a great system for
putting together a bunch of pieces, although I would stay away from the
word "competition".  This implies that there's some standard against which
pieces should be judged. That was not how the Frog Peak project was
described- I believe they used the word "invitation" instead.
