[SIGCHI] updates

[Joshua Benjamin <jebenjam@xxxxxxxx>]

Last week's discussion of the drawing teacher app led to storyboarding 
for the interaction process and then investigation into Python and 
Java's abilities to interact with Wacom tablets / Windows inking--Java 
won. I'm not opposed to Visual Basic for this, either...I would think 
it all to be hinged on what'll have the most/best API's for the input 
coding.

No meetings this or next week (meeting next on Nov. 20th), I hope 
everyone's enjoying the second round of exams like I am. Those active 
on the project, please start looking at open source (sourceforge.net) 
programs that are similar, so you can get a feel for how these types of 
objectives are tackled in code.

Also I came across an interesting device and project that would have 
enabled us to use Linux on a tablet--I certainly wish it were more 
developed. See
