[draft]
The week after next, I've invited Yoshiki, Alex Warth, Dan Amelang, and Dan Ingalls to come over so we can talk about maybe designing a language / runtime for the room. They asked for something to read to get them up to speed.
I plan to send them a video tour of the space, followed by this pdf:
(I'm going to add links from the pdf to emails and other references, but I haven't done that yet.)
If you prefer, you can view this as a poster -- it's on the whiteboard by my desk.
I'm kind of just using the meeting as an excuse to do this write-up -- I think it's valuable to make things like this as a way of getting my head around this big and unknown and impossible project. Most of the stuff relevant to "what should we actually build" is in the last column, "Desiderata", although I haven't really separated "feasible" from "fantasy future". I think that's what will happen at the meeting.
This is a draft, comments welcome. (e.g., you could leave sticky notes on the poster)
