Does this seem like a reasonable project to do in Squeak? Is there something to do remote procedure calls or otherwise communicate between the clients and the server?
If its reasonable for Java, its reasonable for Squeak. :)
For client/server programs, "Ma client server", on SqueakMap, may be of use to you. A server program can be written in one line of code. See http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2978.
Good luck, Chris

Nice. Does this provide facilities for the server to push data to a connected client, or must the interaction be entirely request-driven?

The server only responds to a client request, it does not initiate any communication on its own. And its only synchronous at this point.
Certainly not the most robust, but easy to use.

PS - I have not had time to update this package in a while, so not even sure it works on 3.8, I'll try to get to that soon. But the version that comes with Magma on *SqueakSource* is the latest and greatest, and works just fine on 3.8.. Sure looking forward to better dependency mechanism!
