I also think that the catalog is important. If anything is wrong with it we should fix it.
I agree. Issues: - The Catalog doesn't use Metacello, so things loaded via the catalog are not registered properly (upgrades / conflicts) - The Catalog mix multiple Meta repos and you never know, given a configuration in multiple repos, which one the Catalog is giving you. - The Catalog icons are ... non understandable.
The problem is that the catalog is never working well with the current unstable version of Pharo (today 7). Not all package developers take the trouble of checking/porting all the time, that is perfectly understandable.
Never tried that one
Moving the catalog to GitHub with a STON meta description is a good idea, of course. All we need is a clean object representing the meta info, the rest comes for free.
Maybe. I would like a automated way of extracting the json from a baseline or configuration... to reduce the friction of using the catalog. Thierry

Now today you had loading trouble with Smacc from Catalog ... and now directly want to kill catalog. Wow!
Sometimes I have the impression that our community tries to reinvent itself each day doing it differently (but not only better) instead of extending, improving and supporting what we have have done before. Which sometimes is good ... but not always.
Thx T.
