Looked at whitedwarf ... its meant for the server, when what we are looking is meant for clients, or actually terminals with limited RAM, Flash, and no hard disk.
Xwindows is gross overkill for such projects. Microwindows being developed for handheld and such others may be better. http://microwindows.censoft.com/
This sure does look promising ... if it can really beat plain-vanilla X, then we are definitely interested.
However one should have a very clear definition of the project goal else it will swiftly deteriorate into one more unusable tech toy.
Well, I am not myself working on the project, so can't give too many details. But I do know its meant for the terminals I described above. Something like "application specific" small computers, which do only a handful of things, but do it well.
Some people in IIT were working on this as well ... they achieved to put a lot of stuff into 16MB of Flash. We hope to get inputs from them as well ...
Sameer.
