Insofar as the spin is concerned I'm not sure that there is anything 
left to do.

I have requested the website changes and they are already in place for F19.

I have added some new packages to Fedora (radium_compressor and a few 
lv2 synths) which we may want to add to the spin package list.

I've not heard from Jorn lately regarding the jam control app, but I 
encourage anyone with some python_fu to review and make changes.

On my to do list is to split out the non-* packages and maybe even offer 
an alternate zynaddsubfx binary using the ntk (FLTK fork as used by the 
non packages).

I'm back in australia for a working holiday at the moment so time is 
somewhat limited but I am still around ;)

As for your GSOC suggestion, maybe this is something which should be 
floated by CCRMA and not Fedora? Only problem is getting a slot, which 
will require a significant coding component. I can backstop any mentor 
if required
