This is also great news- I'm starting to think that we have a viable Camp project here.

I looked at your slides and have put in a link on the Frost Wiki under "What is Frost?".
I'd like to have see what opportunities exist for collaboration- for instance, I have
a hunch that Squeak's 2D and 3D graphical capabilities would be useful in implementing
the corresponding Java API's.
