Hi,

The author (Michal Skrivanek) was my student last year and I suggested 
him to make first steps toward
that project because I believed that having something like

in Squeak would be a good idea. I don't know Michal's plans but I think 
the project needs some help from
some experienced X and Morphic guru to make it fully functioning.
