Maybe something more specific than "Alternative to tablet and PDA for
MKIV" could be easier for newsgroup readers to understand what we are
talking about. But sincerely I can't find a good text for it.

I hope the author will answer to your message soon, even to know if
they are working on the project.

About Sourceforge: good idea. But before to start maybe it's better to
get a wish-list on this topic from this newsgroup to discuss the goals
. And we need to collect a wider support of people before to jump
there. Consider that it's difficult to find people that own DKV (and
interested in this project) outside this newsgroup. 

About Flash: maybe it's the weakest tech in the project. It's a
proprietary language not very fitted to these purpouses, but probably
the easiest way to produce an interface without a deep programming.
The use of Flash inside SourceForge seems a bit off topic.... I'm not
sure it could be allowed there because SourceForge allows only open
languages. Maybe a porting into Java would be better. But we have to
find help from people skilled on it.
