Nice work guys. Just, one question, I read that Smalltalkhub is using MongoDB. Is that right? How do you do that? There is a Smalltalk port or something for MongoDB. Cheers.

Yes, I think that a beginners video channel would be a great idea! When I get to the stage of understanding things enough, maybe I'll be able to help. I have English as my mother tongue, and my sister is French, and speaks excellent English. I'm not promising anything, but it does feel important to me at the moment ;-) -- Cheers, Peter.

Nicolas and I improved on last Friday the interaction with Smalltalkhub - new repository type for Pharo2.0 - cached allFileNames on server side - response time reduction: 500ms => 12ms - added new raw filenames format: - see: http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/estebanlm/Voyage/main?format=raw - cuts the transferred data size in half - reduces parsing overhead on image-side - fixed a bug in the HTTPRepository where the download would take took long - testing if a mcz file exists is now a 10ms action instead of >1s with the last three fixes applied we have cropped down the response time from the server to ~15ms. All in all this will make Smalltalkhub a super-fast Monticello experience! enjoy! camillo

Hi Peter, Interactive geometry software are very specilised software, so you need to understand how it works. Tutorial are indeed important. My main problem is speaking language. I have written documentation in French at http://www.drgeo.eu/screenshot-video I can't produce an english documentation with a good quality level. We have some video tutorial at http://www.drgeo.eu/screenshot-video Some of the video are in French other in English But I should set up a Video channel for begginer to get started, it will be a great idea. What do you think? Next about tutorial button within DrGeo, yes it will be a nice addition. It is someting I need to thing about. Thanks for your feedback Hilaire Le 16/09/2012 11:53, Peter Hugosson-Miller a Ã©crit : > Hej Hilaire! > > I've bought the paid version, and it does look pretty nice.
