Hi,

I will have one full week dedicated to Pharo, now I must decide what to do. One fun thing would be to write a X11 window manager (based on TilingWindowManager), so I could run Emacs, shells and all stuff in Pharo, even Pharo in Pharo :)

You mean implementing a native interface using X11?

I've tried some months ago to translate this example https://github.com/mackstann/tinywm/blob/master/annotated.c� but I lack of NativeBoost knowledge (I suppose it's the right tool to use).

I think so too :)

�

Has anyone tried this before ? Hints ?

The only thing I know is that Carla Griggio is working on Mars for Gsoc, and for that she is working on Gtk bindings in linux... But I cannot tell more because I really do not understand what you want to do with X11 :).
