Hola!

Having gained some real Squeak/Morphic experience this last summer, I
think I'm ready to be serious about a Squeak PDA project.

Is there anyone else out there interested in getting some serious work
done on this front?

Possible platform: Compaq iPAQ H3150 (like the more common model, but
greyscale) running Linux and a Squeak/Linux FB VM.

I'm hoping to buy one of these soon.  Why this model over the more common
color one?  Cheaper and better battery life.  Two important things to me.

Things I see as immediate projects:

1. Figure out how to get rid of focus-follow mouse.  Wasn't there a CS
that did this already?

2. A soft-keyboard morph

3. Revamp the window manager to produce something more appropriate to a
PDA.  I think PicoGUI (http://picogui.org) is a great place to look for
ideas.

4. Write a datastore.  I'm talking about an oodb like the Newton's system
of soups.  The advantages of a system like this is very evident to
Smalltalkers, I would imagine, but can go into it if needed.

5. Get some sort of framework going geared towawrds writing apps for this
PDA.

6. Pound out some PIM apps.

I'm going to try and get started on this.  I started out with the aim of
using PicoGUI and writing bindings for it to Lua.  But C gets to me, and I
think that's pretty much abandoned.

Any other ideas?

Regards,
Aaron
