Well, as discussed elsewhere, Wanderer is in bad need of a facelift. At the same time, a little more support for these other things should be incorporated. No, I don't mean trying to add SVG right now, but rather making sure that adding it LATER is easy to do.
I've looked around for various WB replacement code projects. JazzBench was open, but I couldn't find the code because it was so old. The others I found (ScalOS and MBench) are both closed projects.

I would agree with the idea of that this should be as open as possible. I know of 2 operating systems and one upcoming one that is using SVG graphics for their interface and even one that will be using mpeg movies for their icons.
Implementing SVG support in the interface would be a good improvement to wanderer, especially for designing UI elements in addition to Zune or even as a zune extension.. Most of the world doesn't work on just rich bitmaps anymore..

Sounds good to me. It's amazing what Amiga programmers were able to do with the original datatypes: we have MP3 audio and MPEG video datatypes.
A cleanup and some extensions given the advancement of streaming technology seems reasonable. This would be a good place to hash things out.

I am a big supporter of modularity. I'm only a bit afraid of abuse of such features. But as long as it's configurable, maybe it can't hurt. And Datatypes are a great thing. Unfortunately, in it's current state it's quite crippled. A couple of years ago I tried to restart the DTA project, but it had no success. So, first on the list should probably an updated (read: new) datatypes system, one that supports streaming of data and includes other enhancements. I should have some small text files filled with some ideas that were discussed on the mailing list at that time... aha, got one :) Some extra features: * filters : available to all datatype-capable data for manipulating the data - per data category (text, image, ...) * renderers : display the data - especially interesting for hypertext data and 3D data perhaps a viewer and an editor class both of these should have some kind of GUI, that can be displayed by the calling application, either in a window, or in a frame.
