Modality

Modality is an information-centric computing environment. The high-level goals for the project are:

• Improve usability by adhering to a consistent, coherant interaction model
• Move to a transparent data/view/function model which will support easy end-user programming
• Improve code reuse by building the system around embedded, reused data structures and renderers
• Improve utility by providing automatic, runtime binding of data and relevant tools everywhere in the system

It is currently being built on Mono with gtk-sharp and the gnome canvas for drawing, but I have proofs of concept lying around that use java, and the excellent batik library for an SVG-based interface, so I am not yet married to a particular technology.
