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, Bijan.
