OpenAlchemy

Atul Chitnis announced on his blog that -
The OpenAlchemy Project is the opensourced version of Alchemy - the user interface used on the Amida Simputer. Everytime I have shown the Simputer to people abroad, the first thing people have commented on was the interface, and have asked if it was possible to make the code available.

If you are interested in contributing to the project (especially if you are a student), go over to http://openalchemy.org, join the mailing list (you will find some familiar people there already), read through the archives, find out what needs doing - and go for it!
