Ok! Let us know how we can help. There is also the Pharo consortium: it is free for âacademixâ but is a nice way to show that we are working in a sound robust eco-âsystemâ. There is enough space for everyone willing to contribute. And I do not know if you saw some of our talks but Pharo is yours means that this is not a product and that people can get an impact.

I'll likely start working with Guillermo on the UFFI booklet. I also see the 'by example' booklets as being /very/ important, as they give critical first impressions to those new to the whole concept of Smalltalk. I want to enroll others in Pharo, and that means I need good docs/web pages to direct people to. There are documents needed for reference; to answer questions & guide style, usage, conventions, understanding. But there are also documents needed to enroll newcomers, get attention, provide that "hook"... Both are important. You're aware of Pharo's "marketing needs" as well as anyone, I'm sure. So thanks for the generous offer. I'm thinking about starting here with an interest group, along with some tools and demonstration projects (based closely on the work we do) to get attention & interest. That should evolve into training needs, and that's where I think the MOOC and remote lectures would come into play. We are (also) a national R&D institute where software, automation, etc. figures prominently. It's long past time that we have an awareness of Pharo and tap into its advantages to improve the quality, reliability, & productivity of our missions. This has been on my mind for some months now. -t -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html

I can offer my writing/editing/proofreading skills for this work, too. As Guillermo pointed out, the documentation is "super important". And I can be immediately productive there, as my English skills are way ahead of my Pharo coding skills. I'm also approaching this as a relative newbie, and as someone with aspirations to start teaching Pharo (informally, at least at first) where I work... -t -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html

It has probably some rough edges so to not hesitate to come back to us. Iâm currently migrating all the books, booklets, to the latest tagged version. >> On 25 Sep 2019, at 16:51, Brainstorms <wild.ideas(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Stef, >> >> Okay, that's in line with what I expected.

It has a way to plug different âbookâ templates. I know some companies that used it to generate documentation. Now with guillermo we spent some days there and there to improve (all my slides, books, â¦.) are based on pillar.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Difficulty to use Iceberg

by Brainstorms

Hi Jan, (I wasn't subscribed to the Dev list until today, so now I can respond here, in the same thread.) Would "git worktree add" solve your problem? This allows you to create multiple working trees that are all associated with the same repository. I haven't tried this myself (yet), but I expect this would allow Pharo to interact normally with the original working copy, while providing a second working directory for your C++ co-development, all without the need to clone an additional working copy. -Ted -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html

Hi Stef, Okay, that's in line with what I expected. No worries! The devops part of me still wants to know how the process works, though. I like the format it produces, and I could see adopting it for a documentation tool outside of Pharo (assuming everything is open source). -Ted -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html
