Remember, in the beginning of the month of July DarkWyrm stated he was having thoughts about how Deskbar and Tracker could be enhanced for R2. While this is no official (read Haiku Inc. endorsed) work, it is certainly valuable to the community as a proof of concept and as an future looking attitude which seems to be part of the Haiku spirit.

A first screenshot (sort of app. launcher) appeared next in this post showing a working R2-related mini code projects (Proof Of Concepts snippets if you want).

Another teasing shot was inserted in his “Ouch” post: the MakeBundle app.

Then DarkWyrm posted a clarification about the goal and the “officialness” of his brainstorm work. You can read the whole post here but the essence can be summarized by:

“Too many people have suggested bizarre, impractical, and/or undesirable ideas on the Glass Elevator list”  …” These screenshots (and the to-be-released-later programs) are an attempt to show that my vision for R2 is good, sensible, practical, and worth putting into place”

Saturday he posted some more “More Juicy Tidbits” to give more detailed explanations and to tease us (again…) about a new-to-come mini project.
