Hi,
sorry, this message was meant to go to chromatic only. I modified my mail client setting to automatically add the mailinglist address some weeks ago, I should revert to the old settings :-)

I think... I think I need to get cracking on the event handling spec. I'd prefer SDL to use parrot's built-in event handling system, but for that to happen we first have to *have* a built-in event handling system...SDL events are meant, I proposed the hash-like access to avoid problems with constants. Will parrot's event handling mechanism also apply to "foreign" event sources (also QT, GKT and others)?
Yes. What I ultimately want is a single unified system that handles all asynchronous things, including timers, signals, and IO. (And events from a windowing system count as IO, at least to me)
I think I have a scheme or, rather, I have a scheme that I think will work, but needs a little fleshing out. Got a few other things to take care of first, then I'll get a discussion of this going and we can see where we go from here.
