The Plover Project is not dead! I'm just taking a bit longer to learn Python than I should. But slowly, slowly, I'm getting there. I just spent a lovely week and a half with my brother, the programming wizard, learning the ins and outs of classes, objects, and Tkinter. When I get back to the city, I'll keep working on my little proto-steno programs, and hopefully by the end of this year I'll have a little more than I had at the end of last year. This stuff is too important to give up on.
