[Agentools-developer] retroswarm

[<ge...@sw...>]

Hey guys,

I'm working on a project where I've forked the Swarm code from awhile
back (1.0.5) that I'm calling "retroswarm".  My intentions are to
avoid all the complicated stuff we put in to support windows, java,
scheme, etc. and to tear off the tcl/tk gui, and make defobj and
activity usable as a separate component.  The basic idea is to pare
swarm down to a simple state for objective-c programmers.  Once we
get there, I intend to make it compatible with the modern GNU objective-c
runtime, hook it up to GNUstep (and maybe Cocoa), and, thereby, provide
a lightweight objective-c simulation package for the modern objective-c
programmer.

Plus, it will allow me to actually continue the work we started on 
defobj without it being cluttered by all the cruft we piled on top
of it later.

So, my question to this list is: Would you guys be interested in
having this code in the AgenTools CVS repository?  I'm prepared to
either provide my own publicly accessible repository (on
retroswarm.org) or start a new project on sourceforge.net.  But, since
the stated purpose of agentools is "modularity", which is my primary
purpose with retroswarm, I thought I'd run the idea by you and see
what you thought.
