As a matter of fact, yes I do.

And what's worse ;) it's definitely language-related.  I wish to treat
language text as a program, and a text editor consequently as an interpreter.
Feeding the "compiled" text into a database for storage as the server
component; I also wish to correlate it with a
spoken-(listening/speaking)-language component.

As far as the database back-end goes, it would appear to be related to the
Logic Database idea - depending on your Prof, this may overjoy or deeply
depress him/her.

I have never heard of anyone seeing any components of this in this context, so
it quite conceivably is something completely new - but then again, I expect
I'm exceedingly ignorant, to crib a phrase from Ursula Le Guin.

I would appreciate it if you could release the software you create under the
LGPL so I could make use of it myself ... ;) other than that, enjoy yourself
if so you desire.
