Don, is there anything of NeWS or other toolkits that would work on modern-day X11 on Linux/BSDs?

Would a Display PostScript (like NeXTStep or the Solaris provided X11 server had) be needed to run NeWS?

Yeah, I've been working on Noticias, which is an implementation of NeWS in Typescript targeting the browser.

Initially, I used HTML5 Canvas to draw, but I'm now in the process of switching over to SVG. Once I have demos that I can show, I'll be making the repo public.

If you're interested in working it, please reach out to me, duncanmak@gmail.com.

Hi Don, terribly sorry but that URL doesn't load for me - does it load for you?

Whoops, it must be a private repo! I'll encourage him to announce it here when it's ready.
