Right, I think we want to improve Squeak in terms of user interaction. This may be far-ranging to start with. This is a call for discussion.
Where do we want to be with Squeak, anybody with an investment it the way it currently works is welcome.
We are looking at re-engineering the basics, the VM teams are welcome to add their 2 (cents, pennies, etc).
I think we envisage a framework (for want of a better word) that is rather fundamental, upon which existing Morphic can live, along with opportunities for radical new ui frameworks.
Hands up, and we'll see who can form a team.
Gary.

Count me in. Don't know exactly how I can contribute yet but this is an area I am keen to be involved in. ATM I am trying to collect my thoughts on an alternative UI for Nokia Internet Tablets that I call "STack Fusion".

Gary, Interesting!
I am working on an object oriented programming paradigm (as opposed to the class oriented programming of Simula, C++, Java and others). The goal is readable code. This work may or may not be relevant to what you have in mind. A first shot at the programming paradigm is ready with its roles and classes and is documented, see see this book chapter at http://folk.uio.no/trygver/2007/babyUML http://folk.uio.no/trygver/2007/babyUML.pdf.pdf http://folk.uio.no/trygver/2007/babyUML.pdf or my home page
A first read-only version of this IDE is emerging. I plan to demo it in Bergen at the end of the month. A Role isA Trait enabling classless coding of the system interaction methods, A role is represented in the code as a Pragma, so the Trait isn't quite stateless I have not needed to change Morphic or any other fundamental feature)
I hope to have a first bleeding edge version of this IDE ready in the not too distant future so that you can play with it.
In haste --Trygve

Hi:
I'm wondering about the role of Tweak. I know ins't strictly an UI, but I'm interested in know what do you think about.
Cheers.
