Well at present time the Gnuserver from Lennart looks te be largely good enough, to implement one of the needed features: a text editor to edit Lisp like lists (frame definitions) that would be retrieved from a database. I don't see why exactly the server is needed, sorry for being dense. Couldn't you just load the database into memory in some suitable fashion and then spawn frames and windows as needed, all from within the one running emacs? Thanks for your interest, Thanks for explaining... I'm still sort of confused, but yeah, still interested! I see your are from utexas.edu, would you be a KM user? I used to be. Now I'm working on an Emacs-native knowledge representation platform; if you want to check it out it is at http://www.nongnu.org/hdm/ in the "scholium-system" subdirectory. Not finished, but possibly of interest at this stage, and it should be done soon-ish.
