Heya, this is really great! BTW, it's a bit of a compexity jump, but I wonder if you know about Emacspeak? http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/ It has the usual high learning curve of Emacs, so I think your new editor project is a great entry point. But the advantage possibly long term of using Emacspeak is you can do a lot of powerful things (it aims to be a "complete audio desktop" in emacs) since emacs is so text-based and has many features. And of course, you can edit Racket code too :) So it may be a good future-path moving from your project to this.
