I've started a discussion of this topic at:

        http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wikiHandwritingRecognition

Feel free to expand on what is already there.

I've been experimenting with some recognition code over the last
week. So far I am getting *much* better recognition than xscribble
with libstroke combined with a very large alphabet. Even if I don't
have full-screen recognition working right away, I should have a
decent xscribble replacement ready sometime next week.

I'll be glad to put my code up in CVS as soon as the
handhelds.org/SourceForge lets me, (hint, hint).
