Since my time comes in spurts, given my day job, I try my best to not 
announce things until I am absolutely positive they are going to 
happen.  This one is not quite there.

But, if folks are interested in working on it with me (all my projects 
are open source), I am happy to share details.  At this point, it's AVR 
C code, and right at the absolutely present moment, it is straight ANSI 
C code that I am compiling on Linux and Windows to implement the BASIC 
interpreter.  I figure the interpreter is not project specific, so I am 
implementing code to run on newer OSes.. I am happy to have help there.  
Later on, I will backport to the AVR codebase and fixup the small HW 
nuances (no filesystems, etc.)

And, assuming I can get my act together this weekend and get the board 
laid out, I'll spin a board for CocoFEST.

If it works, I think it'll be a fun project/tool for the attendees.
