Hi!
Nice to meet you, too.

I'm pretty excited to have found your project and been able to join it so early.
I have been looking for a Javascripty way of making music in the browser for a while, and haven't really found anything that I liked. I took a Computer Music course in College a while back and we used CSound back then. I was almost ready to reimplement a CMusic or Chuck compiler in JS. And then I found flocking ;)

I actually have a minor in DSP from my college days, but since that was almost 5 years ago it might be a little rusty.
None withstanding that, I'd be more than happy to help you with taking flocking forward.

As far as the live editor goes, I didn't actually look around a lot. I have some experience with processing and remembered their live editor @ sketch.processing.org. So I looked and found that they used ace, actually back then it was still called bespin.
AFAIK, Orion seems a little complicated and not as shiny as the other two.
From what I can see, ace and CodeMirror have almost the same feature set, so I don't think it matters much.

If you want I can implement another version with CodeMirror and we'll see which one works better.
As far as the branching goes, I totally agree, but as I am still kinda new to github, I wasn't aware of that.

Regarding the boilerplate stuff, that's exactly what I thought. As you can see I already did that in the editor, naming the flocking object synth which gets automatically played when the button is clicked.

I think the editor is pretty feature-complete, if you'd like me to add something more, let me know, if not please feel free to pull the code into your repo.
