I strongly agree we should more thoroughly review future project proposals. The questions about validity/usefullness raised here should have been settled before it goes online for students to select.

That was basically my misunderstanding of the topic. Paul wants a tone/music generator utilizing fluidsynth, not just as part of qualification as I understood it. And after talking to Nicolas, he is fine continuing that GSoC project as intended.

@Ashutosh: So please continue working on your project/application with Paul as planned. 

Time to give some actual feedback on the code / review, please.

Thanks,
Thilo
