Do you think to use this as a base to develop a word processor in<br>
Squeak, or a desktop publishing system, or to revive the 'Dynabook<br>
dynamic essay' idea?<br>
<div><br></div></blockquote><div><br><br>No. <br>Everything what is connected with Dynamic essays, LObjects, Lesserphic, Text Field Spec for LObjects, Franc, ect. is completely covered by VPRI team and their domain of exploration, development and deployment. <br>
So, the idea is not in getting these great yet unfinished projects and integrating them in Squeak just right now as is. In reality we could just looking on what is happened there from the side, by reading the reports, articles and self exploring the code. Someone could consider VPRI projects as the main development's vector for the future of Squeak related activities, I am stating on that point of view too.<br>
That is why, "not to be left behind the scene" we need to develop Squeak by using the technologies, hidden behind all these projects. And furthermore we are luckily! OMeta and Worlds are quit ready to use since 2010.<br>

</div>This is a lot -- where you do think you would like to focus on?<br>
<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>First, making OMeta as the default preloaded package in Squeak. Then, review, redefine the parts in Squeak where patten matching and parsing is needed, reimplementing them using OMeta. Adopting existed programmer's tools for easily using of OMeta language, while working with source code (transcription, annotation, localisation, etc). Exploring, how "Undo" operation could be implemented in current Squeak using Worlds. And more.. <br>
