Hi guys
I have a general comments. Doru in a recent email you complain that people may (and it was not the case) think that GT was out of Pharo.
I did not complain. I just noticed how several times there it was argued that something is imposed from GT onto Pharo and that because <example> is in a certain way only in GT it somehow plays a secondary importance. This implies that collectively, we reason about GT as being separate from Pharo.
Now I think that the group does not mention clearly enough his plans.
And in general groups (like rmod too).
We worked only on the things we announced since the PharoDays in January: - Spotter - Inspector/Playground - Chatter For example, we just get that there is a support for code critics.
You just get the news because it just happened days before the announcement of Uko. And this was not following a big master plan. It was a mere couple of hours of playing around with implementing more examples of how to use Spotter by Stefan Reichhart (the newest GT team member). Please look back, and you will notice that every significant feature that is released comes with a prominent description on http://humane-assessment.com. And along the way we also describe examples of how to use GT. I honestly do not know how to provide more. About the Quality Assistant of Yuriy I have been discussing regularly with
him to make sure that I would not launch something that would compete with him and that I do not pay a student for something in concurrence.
I discussed with Alberto student that should work on improving Ecompletion
and I change the topic of a guy coming to work with us.
So I would like to propose that we share a kind of board of announce on
what people are doing. For example starting 1 of april Franck will work on improving pretty printing Merwane will work on 3D and event touch Thomas will work on code review Cyril will work on pillar improvements Kevin on decompiler Julien on remote environment or new collection
That is welcome information, which was indeed opaque until now. On Tuesday we will organize a working session in Bern on the Pharo IDE with exactly the goal of supporting more exchange.
So what do you think. For me I think that this is important. Because I would like to lower frustration.
What is the concrete proposal? To send emails here when we know we are switching topics? We did that regarding GT and it seems to not be enough. What else is needed? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"
