Exactly today we've sended a mail to web2.0-smalltalk list to
proposing aproximately the same, but using the tools that Diego GD is
developing on top of Comet
(http://smalltalk.consultar.com/wiki/doku.php).

Sorry because both (the pages and the list) are in Spanish, but we can
join efforts?

Cheers.
gsa.
