Suggestions: 1) Something like VW MemoryPolicy would probably be beneficial in the long-term instead of polluting SmalltalkImage with a zillion #initializeMemorySettingsProfileForWhatever to customize the Pharo GC parameters for Seaside, QF or whatever else. 2) SystemNavigation needs a cleanup/revisit. 3) Utilities needs a cleanup/revisit. 4) The "more..." menu in the file browser is a mess, a real big mess! Needs cleanup/revisit. My 2 cents. ----------------- Benoit St-Jean A standpoint is an intellectual horizon of radius zero. (Albert Einstein)

Hi all
Of course we will integrate changes and changes and improvements.... now I believe that it would be nice to build a common vision. Here what I would like to get in 1.2.
Now it does not mean that this is a definitive list and that we will have the energy to do all but like that you know that you can put energy do build this common vision :)
- better infrastructure for integrating rb composite queries into the system The idea is to introduce a superclass on top of systemDictionary and to define there an API that is compatible with the one of RB (and potentially modified the one of RB)
- another step towards using announcement for system notification
- better tools for dev
- have a look at the RB change model so that we could get a real undo and changes
- clean Monticello so that package logic stays in package so that we can plug RPackage into the system. Right now this looks too brittle to do anything
- make sure that we can have RPackage on the side of PakageInfo (we got really nice benchmark)
- New Compiler in beta
- Helvetia hooks
- ROME API
- Sophie Event Hierarchy
- Define some architectural action to get the system more modular
- Hudson infrastructure
- metacello to manage core
- metacelloRepository for 1.0/1.1/1.2 Gofer
- squeak collection optimisation?
- Alien
Open points:
- What do we do with ToolBuilder? Not clear to me.
- What should be done at the level of polymorph? - What should be done a the level of Pluggable**** can we use the fact that we have now block closure to get it better.
As you guess it will not come simply but this is important that we all head towards a common understanding
