Well, it's complicated. Extending Scamper to run plugins seems a bit
insane, and running the squeak plugin is even more insane, if pretty cool
:)

Buuuuuut, you say "not be held to...plugins", so that can't be what you
meant :)

I guess it would just be a matter of detecting the .pr object (i'm not
sure off hand how it's embedded in the HTML, but it's shouldn't be hard to
add). The tricky part, I'd imagin, is running the project "live" inside
another project. But, as I recall, there's a bunch of world in world stuff
that Bob did...

In any case, you could always modify the Swiki to detect Scamper and send
a slightly modified project, either in the normal superswikish way, or
with slightly enhanced "publish" buttons.

I'd love for Swikis to detect scamper by default in general and send
squeak objects (like hand tuned for squeak forms) rather than HTML :)

Cheers,
