I like the idea, but don't see it being feasible in terms of manpower unless it is possible to attract the new contributors you mentioned. I imagine this new blood would have the HTML5/GWT/? knowledge but there will obviously be a need for some experienced Pivot people to commit time to this too. (Not necessarily current Pivot committers) Getting 2.0.1 out of the door has got to be the main priority right now, but that could then serve as a good base for a branch to experiment with idea. I wouldn't like to see the limited time & resources of the current Pivot dev team diluted by this if it means that the main dev branch stagnates at 2.0.1 or 2.1, but I suppose that it is feasible that this could bring in new developers and end up driving the 'classic' Pivot along too.
