The 'Shared Smalltalk Workspaces' [http://ws.stfx.eu] service is indeed old (but has been working unattended for years).

Quite impressive that.

It was later hijacked (in a good way) by the Playground. It should indeed be upgraded a bit, I'll look into it but can't promise anything.

Since its been incorporated as a standard feature, is it time for it to move domain to ws.pharo.org.
Maybe the Association/Consortium fund your time to assist with that?

Do note that you can paste a SSW URL like http://ws.stfx.eu/CJGVYTTQD3RY into Spotter to open it in a new Playground. A cool, but hidden feature. So technically there is no need for more.

Nice, that worked well.

You can also access a page with the following expression:

ZnClient new
�� systemPolicy;
�� beOneShot;
�� accept: ZnMimeType textPlain;
�� url: 'http://ws.stfx.eu/CJGVYTTQD3RY';
�� get.

Maybe an additional menu item somewhere ?
