1. stability
2. Tonel is a nice way to export file (its granularity is just right, bravo Esteban!) and commit to arbitrary repository, experimenting it with DrGeo, and it is nice to commit code[1] along other data files of the project (graphics, doc, translation, etc.). Got some an when non ascii characters were present in the source code, people reported it there. Likely to be fixed :)
3. vectorial interface, oh already on its way
4. application builder. Smalltalk/X has a GUI to build a standalone application, was not able to get it working, but it probably worked at some time in the past (see screenshot). Such a feature in Pharo will be fantastic, and likely a kill feature for the ones developing stand alone application; yes there are still some ;-)
We would like the same. Now spec was an increment in that direction because behind the UI builder you need to reuse the model. So with a pass on spec we will be set to be able to build the builder part
5. fulfill the promise of tiny image, aka bootstrap and 4.
Did you see that pavel produced a smaller image than the first bootstrapped version
All these wishes are under construction, so likely to happen \o/
I have personal three wishes (beside good health of course), sharing it in case others are interested to hack on it too:
A. get DrGeo working on P7, particularly on the bootstrap process.
Let us know the problem you face because this is important that you can.
B. Build an environment in Pharo to develop simple games, targeted for kids. There are some teenagers in my school likely to get interested on such courses. If it could result in standalone games build thanks to wish 4., so good.
I'm interested into that this is why I proposed to "laura" maximilliano to work on such framework. Now I never got the time to do a pass over it and to release what I learned. - direction - handling on moves. - I created a grid data structure but this is the least interesting part. If you want we can discuss what I learned. Also students in Prague are building games on top of Bloc.
C. Develop a white board application, easy to extend to add third party features. The OpenBoard[2] we are using in school are merely goods (can't get the right tooling to do geometry for example), handwriting is not nice, hacking on it is super complicated (C++ code), not to mention the building process. A Pharo based one will be fantastic and much easy to hack.
Is Pharo running on this?
Have a nice Christmas!
