I'm supporting the Python port to Palm, of course.
In the long term, and if I can find the time, I'd
really love to rewrite Python completely in Forth.
That would really fit the machine, and it would
introduce Python in completely new areas.
One idea is to adopt the OTA standard which
you can find at http://www.europay.com .

I admit that this is a huge project. But I'm in
the MI5T (Mission Impossible 5oftware Team) and they
can do the impossible :-)
