I'm all for this, in fact I was wondering whether I'd be allowed to create a
generic DSP-hacks project to host various bits of example code and tasks
which are just being started. I wasn't sure if a Garage project has to be
for a single deliverable/program?

Agreed, it would be good to centralise all of these bits and pieces.

I would certainly participate.
