A "single world wide image" was indeed my motivation in sketching out
Neo Smalltalk Modules. This was inspired by my observations of a group
of students trying to share a single image using the Kansas interface in
Self. There were serious problems, but the advantages were so compelling
that I can't imagine a way forward that isn't fixing the problems by
introducing a more robust infrastructure.
In a very similar direction, see the latest VPRI paper:
