[Coco] proposal for CoCoFEST! talk

So once again FEST! time is approaching and I have no noteworthy
project to display.  Rather than come empty-handed, I thought I might
have an alternative this year.

I thought I might put together a little presentation on how to do
some simple CoCo development using the conveniences of a modern PC
(i.e. "cross development").  This would be a survey of some of the
available tools and basic technologies.  As I am not a CoCo programmer
of any note, this would specifically _not_ be a talk to 'how to write
the greatest CoCo game ever'.  Instead it would be more of a basic
overview of some of the available tools and their strengths, etc.
I would try to cover both RSDOS and OS-9 targets.

Does this interest anyone?  I would put together a few slides and
some simple demos, and the rest of the FEST! could be an extended
demo and Q&A opportunity.  Is this worthwhile?

Feedback welcome!

John

P.S.  I'm a Linux guy, so the presentation would be weighted towards
what is available in a Unix-like environment (including cygwin, etc).

P.P.S.  I would, of course, be open to suggestions of any particular
tools/projects to cover, interesting tips or resources, etc.
