Most importantly, on "frob"<br>
<br>
"The term <b>Frob</b> has typically been used to refer to any small
device or object <br>
(usually hand-sized) which can be manipulated, or <i><b>frobbed</b></i>.
It was adopted by <br>
the community of computer programmers which grew out of the <a

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tech_Model_Railroad_Club"
title="Tech Model Railroad Club">Tech </a><br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tech_Model_Railroad_Club"
title="Tech Model Railroad Club">Model Railroad Club</a> in the 1950s.
<i>Frob</i> is among the oldest existing words in <br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_%28computing%29"
title="Hacker (computing)">hacker</a> jargon, as reported in the <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon_File" title="Jargon File">Jargon
File</a>." <br>
<br>
<tt>Second, regarding adding a "Project" entity to PLT that can be
managed, it just <br>
seems logical/prudent to me to completely defer secondary UI issues.
Instead,<br>
all the logic an functionality could be worked out for mzscheme via a
relatively<br>
simple command line utility (or even a little scheme repl - whatever). <br>
<br>
The utility could just run emacs or vi or whatever when needed
(preferably an <br>
editor that can scripts on startup, highlight lines on demand, etc.),
run Lynx <br>
or Firefox or whatever when needed to view docs, run the subversion
command line<br>
utility and so on and so forth.<br>
<br>
This allows for actually building the data structures, organizing them
on disk,<br>
analyzing the project information and keeping track of *that* and so on
and <br>
so forth.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts? Sound like a reasonable first step?<br>
