It might also be worth finding out some more about Gilad Bracha's work
on Newspeak. He's got a very slick interface built on top of Squeak,
using two frameworks - "Brazil" widget framework and "Hopscotch"
application framework. He discussed them briefly in passing during the
talk linked to at
http://news.squeak.org/2008/04/19/video-of-newspeak-lecture-now-available/
- I think he's still working to persuade the sponsors to allow the
code to be open-sourced, but there may be a useful discussion to be
had in the meantime.
