Hi guys I asked igor to do a pre pre pre pre release of athens and then perform regular ones so that you can follow what he is doing and get excited. Because this is getting along and will open a lot of perspective. The idea is that igor is working since september on Athens: a new canvas and a smalltalk backend to support it. The challenge are: - how can we get a zoomable vector graphics system? with for examples back end in Cairo/opengl. - what are the good abstractions to support that? Igor is then working on a "simple" text model and canvas so that we can emit instructions for vector graphics back-ends. Stef
