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.
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.
Please see my response to Matthias' original message. The possibility of writing non-standard Morphic UIs and running them in Amber would depend on the approach taken. I don't see it possible if doing it in html. Something closer to morphic.js and Lively Kernel would be needed. Besides, the best (and esiest) way to do what you want is what I suggest to Matthias: Use a Smalltalk Morphic server (better yet if it is Cuis / Morphic 3), and a remote Amber morphic canvas. Something like a Morphic specific VNC client done in Amber + Canvas.
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.
I'd be really happy to help. To what extent I can do it depends on the chosen path. The closer Matthias goes to my preferred path, the more I can help :)
