Indeed what I really want to know: - why is it considered as failed ? - what were the errors made ? - if we re-start from scratch, what we should *not* do ? - if we fork it, what should we trash / rewrite ? It's sad because "nullPointer" must have gain a lot of experience doing this, even if he doesn't like the code he has written, bump on hard issues, .... nullpointer, the code is important, sharing your experience is *far* more important. Please, do so. Cheers, Laurent Laffont http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/ http://magaloma.blogspot.com/ On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 9:27 AM, Torsten Bergmann <astares@gmx.de> wrote:
I've just noticed that "nullPointer" now recreated http://www.squeaksource.com/CLFramework again and uploaded CLFramework-nullPointer.90.mcz
This time the code has a BSD license. The page says "Failed attempt of visual UI builder for Pharo-Polymorph. Abbandoned. Only works in Pharo 1.0"
From my point of view:
1. This sounds very negative and I dont understand what lead to this decision. Similar to the decision to delete the project on SqS midway. Especially since the previews looked really really good. Is it a time or other issue on nullpointer's side or did the community fail in support...
2. This looks to me as if the project will stop now with 1.0 and is not moved to 1.1. or 1.2
3. I dont understand why the license changed from MIT to BSD but that does not allow us to include the now released version 90 or further work in the MIT licensed pharo-dev.
I expect a day in the life of Pharo where people will demand more support to build visual tools. So to create a UI Builder the community
- either has to start from scratch then - or continue with the project as a fork based on an earlier version ("CLFramework-nullPointer.70.mcz" was the last one released as MIT)
Really sad.
Bye T.
