Actually RunRev has done a nice Hypercard clone and sold for years.
Good to see that they now want to re-engineer it and make it
open-source.

BTW VPRI did some work on DynaBook Junior in 2009
http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2009015_DBjr.pdf

They claim that they can do Hypercard like things with very few
classes. It would be nice to have the proof of concept running in a
recent Squeak (4.3. or 4.4) and available as open-source as well.
