(kinda thinking aloud here)

I guess one of the things that made [ipoke~] work so well (and easy) was that there was already an ongoing discussion and a readymade group of interested and able people involved.  Although Katja very much did all the porting the discussion element was crucial.  So much so that the next 2 releases of [ipoke~] are pretty much done on the Pd side with numerous bug fixes and tightening (v.4 should be out soon and v.5 forthcoming with 4 point interpolation - the infamous [tabwrite4~] idea).  The interpolation was nailed down by Matt with some exploratory probing by Chuck and everyone else.

Anyway, I have no concerns that atm it's just Katja ( with Alex Harker and P.A.) for most of the coding.  But yeah, the graphics is going to be a challenge methinks.  Katja, maybe you have some ideas for approaching a Pd visual whiz?  We can have a think.

I'll email P.A. later today and get the source and we can work out some kind of timeline for getting on with it if that's ok with you...

Can't wait:)

P.S. - I'm still up for some beta-testing of SliceJockey:)
