Myself and Peter have just had other stuff on our plate.  I may need it
for work, so might have time to clean it up and merge it (just a couple
of small problems remaining), but if you worked on it, I'm sure you
could get it to a mergeable state orders of magnitude faster than a
client-based system.

Bear in mind that client-based means that you're going to have
unacceptably latent events, due to every pointer movement now being
dependent on a round trip.

Cheers,
Daniel
