If we were to use this as a GUI tool for the embedlet container, would you
release the source code under a suitable open source license? If there is a
commercial flavour (say paid extensions) I would oppose any such use.
Embedlets are supposed to be open source.
What's it written in? Probably VB or C from the installation specs. I'm not sure
that limiting execution to a Windows platform is a good idea, and would
hesitate to use two different languages in the embedlets project.
Thanks for the offer though....
Regarding PLC's:

I'm nervous about this. PLC's are even more limited than PIC's. I think
embedlets should consider such limited devices but that the place to cut the
teeth is on TStik/JStamp type controllers first.

I see very little value in this challenge, since there is a good chance that the
Embedlet container will not be suitable for PLC's.
More on why I think that later today....
