Erlang Poker Server + HTML5 Canvas

Hey, today i was walking around git-hub checking some erlang projects, and i found this really great erlang poker server, from the greater Joel Reymont.

Well to be honest i dont really give a damm about poker, i never played it, online or in real world, but i have a lot of friends completely addicted to it, so its a topic that catches my attention.

So i start to wonder how great would be to build a client to this server, and i remember a discussion i had earlier with @telmodiasand @jclopesabout htm5 canvas and flash, and the battle to control rich interface applications. EUREKA! Lets build a client for the openpoker server using canvas, to prove that its possible to build a rich interface like the ones exist today in flash (like this one ) much more lighter and faster.

Since i have tons of other projects to work in, this is going to the “when i get time” department, and then probably to oblivion… so i would be really happy to help anybody that would like to really do it :)

If you are not convinced check 9elements experiment of canvas, just amazing :)
