The website describes the goals to be achieved for version 8 as, "It's
the Interface, Stupid". As a user's point of view, I agree with the
above statement. As a developer's point of view, I am suggesting using
Flare (http://flare.prefuse.org) instead of Processing. Flare is a
Flash-based visualization library that will make the design of user
interface services in version 8 quicker, cleaner in terms of coding,
and more flexible.

I am expecting to devote 40 hours a week for this project between May 26 and August 11, except for the period 4th July - 6th July (Friday to Sunday) which I will be on vacation. Thanks for your reply!
