Here's the thing: This is Synth-DIY.  That can include softsynths for certain. 
Just don't expect all of us to be able to contribute.  I'd love to try some real
good DIY open source softsynths (free, like the pounds of schematics we have
access to).  I support a MIDI music lab, so interfacing THAT way works for me. 
I just don't have the time, skills or desire to write them myself.
