Jeff, Jim, Mungo, et al.,

As you know, last summer I took a stab at creating a JavaScript HTML5
version of Jalview. We were able to see an alignment show up, but that is
about it. After a year back as department chair (no longer!) and teaching
I'm finally back to working on SwingJS.

This summer, two St. Olaf undergraduate students and I have further
developed SwingJS, and it is looking great.  We won't have time in the next
few weeks to tackle Jalview -- we are focusing on physics applet conversion
right now --  but I think by the end of the summer we will have all the
parts necessary to take a look at Jalview again. I don't see any particular
problem, other than the fact that some of the tasks that Jalview is so good
at may overwhelm JavaScript. We'll see.

I'm just taking the opportunity now to re-booting that conversation. Please
let me know if you are still interested in this or if it just doesn't seem
like something that fits in with your future plans for Jalview.

Bob
