I produce music as a hobby and I found it exciting that purr-data is used to create music. I am excited and curious to see how real time DSP works and that's why I would love to become an active contributor, with this program as my first step. Since I haven’t worked with purr-data before, I would like to get started with some simple contributions. I read the getting started guide and here are my doubts …”

Oops, I should update that-- it was completed as part of a previous
GSoC project.

The current outstanding GSoC projects may be found on the ideas page.

Yes, it would be a great improvement in user experience.

Yes, I think this could be a fun project. And potentially useful too,
as we could use it to transfer small amounts of data between devices.
:)
