Regardless of whether you would be willing to participate as a mentor, I'd like to know if this project is something you're interested in and what features are most important for you.
Great proposal indeed! I see you mention Lively Kernel as "related". There is also Jens Mönig's Morphic implementation: http://www.chirp.scratchr.org/blog/?p=34 which is used in Snap (a Scratch variant): http://snap.berkeley.edu/snapsource/snap.html And big kudos to Sean for volunteering to mentor! - Bert -
This is a /fantastic/ proposal. I am extremely interested in having the ability to write a non-standard Morphic UI and have it show up in a webpage without any extra work. In fact, that would be amazing! I'm also interested in your idea for another important reason... Morphic is a mess!! What would be great is if you focus on the required behavior without copying too much of the implementation details. In this way, hopefully, we could backport your clean implementation into Morphic and benefit from fresh eyes. I would be happy to mentor as I'm more familiar with Morphic than I ever wanted to be ;) But what would be /great/ is if you could hook up with Juan Vuletich and pitch it to him. He did a rewrite of Morphic a while back and would be an invaluable resource. Even if he can consult, it would be a huge help.
