This looks exactly what I'm doing with Morphic 3. Anybody willing to do
as you say is welcome to check what I'm doing, and work together. I
believe Morphic 3 can be the next UI framework for Squeak. Do you?
To read about Morphic 3, see
http://www.jvuletich.org/Smalltalks2007/St2007VuletichMorphic3TalkProposal.pdf
and http://www.jvuletich.org/Morphic3/TheFutureOfTheGUI_01.html .
Some time in the next couple of years, I'll need a secure graphics API for my SecureSqueak project. The basic idea is that I need as thin a layer of abstraction as possible over various 2-D graphics targets: X11, MS Windows, Mac, Postscript/other printer APIs, OpenGL, VNC and possibly libraries such as Cairo. It would also need to do some event handling, as many events rely on a particular coordinate system. GUIs such as Morphic or Tweak would run on top of this.
Does your Morphic3 project have a base which could target all these? So far all I'm seeing is talk about bizarre coordinate systems.
Gulik.
