That's great!  The reason I haven't responded in the past couple weeks
is that I've been cleaning stuff up before "vacation".  Which will end
with ESUG in France in September, maybe see some of you there.

One of my projects over the summer is to make a minimal GUI that runs
through Firefox, i.e. that uses only the network interface, and none
of the OS-specific screen handling.  I'm working to get this working
first on Pharo/Squeak, and then will move it to Strongtalk.  If that
is running on OSX by then, so much the better.  To the extent
possible, moving the primitives interface of Strongtalk to mirror that
of Squeak would make some porting much easier.

As for my expertise, I have taught C++ in an OO course, but have
little experience actually building programs.
