Gasp... actual news about Cosmoe

Well, I couldn't stay away. My lengthy hiatus away from working on
Cosmoe is now over, and I am back in full force!
Over the last two months, I have rigorously improved Cosmoe 0.8 and
also synced it up with the current svn version of Haiku. The
result? Things are looking pretty good. Mind you, this is still
much more of a technology demonstration than a full-fledged GUI at
this point, but I think Cosmoe has come a long way. I hope to work
more closely with the Haiku folks and foster a symbiotic relation
with the Haiku project.
Here is a current screenshot:

As you may notice by looking at the screenshot, text is not justified
correctly. I.e., text which should be centered is left-justified.
This is one of the last few problems I hope to iron out before
releasing 0.8. Oddly, the code for rendering and justifying the text
is 100% synced with Haiku, yet they don't appear to have this bug
(that I know of). Hopefully some Haiku folks will weigh in on this
point.
At this point, I'm trying to gauge interest in Cosmoe. Some of you
may be saying, "I'm still subscribed to this list?!?!" I hope to put
out a source code release in the next few days. If you would like to
test the current release and provide feedback before it goes out to a
wider audience, please contact me off-list.
Thanks,
Bill Hayden
