Well, it depends on how much "done" you want it to be... and then we 
better have a filename before committing to CVS... so that's exactly when 
we decided on a name.

Ok, his project is to make something that is suitable as a Pd GUI but runs 
independently from Pd. My project is to connect his work to Pd with these
goals in decreasing priority order:

 1. disable all C code that refers directly to Tk
 2. disable almost all C code that refers directly to Tcl
 3. do that by adding the least amount of code possible

His project is an outgrowth of impd_0_37 and I've often threatened to move 
that code over to devel_0_39, so you've been warned quite a few times. 
However I could have written about the changes in the design of 
impd/desire that have occurred in my head since PdConvention04...

I agree, and acting upon that idea, I just posted those mails to
devel_0_39 for all to see.

Oh =) Sure.
