I'm burnt out on this topic, and no one else has stepped up to the task, so far. Surely implementing MrEd is a lot easier than it was 10 years ago. Those were the Motif days! Some people still used monochrome monitors. We had no Gtk or Cairo, and wxWindows crashed if you sneezed too hard. Someone ought to be able to show me how it's done these days, and put MrEd out of business. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> It seems like implementing MrEd in terms of a modern toolkit involves roughly two jobs: 1. Porting all the MrEd interfaces to the new toolkit API (this would be *a lot* of grunt work, plus the effort in porting complex things like editors). 2. Figuring out how to use abstractions like eventspaces and custodians across the FFI boundary. This seems like it could be interesting, and maybe even research. And it probably doesn't require doing all the work of (1) first. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
