Subject: Re: [9fans] GSOC: Drawterm for the iPhone

i think the drawterm port would be interesting, but how to deal with
the mismatch between the touch and 3-button-mouse interfaces seems
like a big issue. i don't yet have an iPhone or iPod Touch, but for
me, drawterm would push me over for the later.

for Andr=C3=A9 (or anyone with similar interests), i'd second eric's
suggestion of considering the Omero client using native widgets. you
could do this with either ("real") OS X or the iPhone, which makes it
a bit more accessible. i'm not sure anything other than the inferno
interface exists today, and it'd be a neat proof-of-concept, and a
useful project using some of the existing skills you're talking about.
