Thanks again for your work on the tracker, Steven.  :)

Well, I've been considering implementing it in Python for some time
myself.  In terms of features, though, perhaps the standard Web 2.0
fare would be a good place to start?  I'm thinking along the lines of
profiles, comments, rating, and tagging.  When I get a bit of time,
I'd be willing to take this project on, actually.

That would be quite convenient, as I use a lot of common SoundObjects
between my compositions (filter cutoff sweeps, sidechain-style volume
envelopes, etc.).  I suppose you'd just make an interface not unlike
the Effect library for it?

Thanks again, Steven.
