[Building Sakai] New Sakai Architecture

[Neal Caidin]

Hi sakai-dev,

Some discussion in the community about starting Sakai over from scratch.

A couple of the leading architectural suggestions include:

* Writing Sakai completely in Hypercard and using Docker for code
distribution to each person's local machine. If necesssary including a 1996
Mac emulator in the bundle. For the occassional "multi-user" version you
will need a server to which all the Hypercard stacks are sent, and then use
Perl to process the data.

* A DIY kit of 6502 microprocessors for speedy 8 bit processing. Each kit
will include a series of 128 pre-programmed ROMs that can be connected in
serial to provide the Sakai program. Don't worry, we will not need to write
this in Assembly, we will use Cobol on a time share for the development.


Other ideas welcome. This is the "brainstorm" stage.

Cheers,
Neal
