No No No .... I am not asking you to code a line for me or anyone else in here. I am not fishing for coders  , or want people to code for my "super cool" project . At least not until I can provide substantial code to back up my claims.
I am not proposing to help with coding your actual project, i just providing a support for NativeBoost and NBOpenGL, in case if you choose them to use.
"Too ambitious" is a very polite way to put it, "pure insanity" is more like it : D
It is not insanity. My first small project when i joined squeak community were GLCanvas, so i am also kind of infected with weird ideas of implementing a novel UIs using opengl and smalltalk. But road is long, and needs to be walked.. and waking with party is much easier and fun.
I am a 32 years old coder, I have been coding for fun for 23 years now and I dont consider myself a very good coder. So I have a very good idea what I am getting myself into and I dont want to drag anyone with me. But I was dreaming for this all my life so one day I woke up and said "what the heck" even if I can make 1% of this reality I will be very happy. And if I dont, then I will certainly have alot of fun in the process.
So exactly what you do now, is exactly what I need. Documentation, Documentation and you guessed it more Documentation. Â So I fire up the very first question .
Where I can find documentation for nativeboost and NBOpenGL ? I am also interested in the new FFI.
right now, most of it on http://code.google.com/p/nativeboost/w/list we're also writing a book chapter about it, https://gforge.inria.fr/scm/viewvc.php/*checkout*/PharoByExampleTwo-Eng/Alie... which is work in progress. it is more introductory-style guide. also i started writing more like 'reference' style help, which will be available right in the image using help system
By the way Igor thank you for your amazing work so far with anything you have done. I only hope my project be able to give you back something as good u one of the things you have given us.
thanks for valuing my effort :) but frankly my opinion about my work is not that high -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
