I continue to develop the "Keymapping" package...which I would really 
have prefered to call Keymapper but that name was taken :-(  Inclusion 
in the image isn't as important to me as having a more organized action 
framework including global "services" as well as application and 
morph-specific actions.  Then I could hook Keymapping into that 
framework in a less kludgy way (keyboard shortcuts would trigger 
actions).  This would also permit app developers to provide "default" 
keybindings which would be used if Keymapping is loaded.  This came up 
on squeak-dev before and Avi and Romain and I discussed it off list a 
bit.  We left it with the idea that services should be tagged in the 
methods...kind of like pragma mechanism in VisualWorks but avoiding new 
syntax.  We didn't refine the idea any further however.  I'm having a 
hard time keeping up with this mailling list but I think that there are 
three teams whose work might touch on these ideas: UI design, 
applications/tools? (don't recall the correct name of this team) and 
usability.  I'm a little slow on the uptake but I hope to join these 
groups, as appropriate.  Maybe Romain can chime in as well since I think 
his work directly impacts this.
