-<h2>An Experimental CORBA binding and IDL mapping for ML</h2>
-<p>
-The future version of Proof General may use CORBA as a communication
-mechanism between different components. CORBA is also used by the
-Unix/Linux desktops KDE and GNOME, which use the free implementations
-MICO and ORBIT respectively. We would like to be able to use ML to
-write to interface with other CORBA components on the desktop and
-network. For this a binding for ORB functions in ML is needed, as well
-as perhaps a mapping from the CORBA IDL into Standard ML, so that
-we can write CORBA enabled applications in SML.
-</p>
-<p>
-This project involves the design and implementation of an experimental
-version (subset of features) of such a system, using one of the
-open-source ML compilers such as Moscow ML, Poly/ML or OCaml (in fact,
-there is already some handling of COM in OCaml which can be used to
-access an ORB). Essentially, we want to analyse the feasibility
-and performance of using a CORBA architecture for Proof General.
-</p>
-<p>
-An CORBA binding for Haskell would also be an interesting project.

-See

-project suggestion for a similar proposal, including useful links.
-</p>
-<p>
-<b>Skills:</b>
-Good ML, C, C++, programming skills and understanding of abstraction
-mechanisms, basic understanding of CORBA and willing to get to
-grasps with some of MICO or ORBIT.
