Do you know when monticello was invented? and working for real?
Around 2004-2005 as far as I remember. And working for real at that very moment, I guess.
Why?
because pay attention when you talk about smalltalker reinventing the wheel. So far with this argument we could say that we should all use eclipse because Java invented the ide, isn't.
In 2003, Monticello was the only game in town. It's now 10 years later. You need to reevaluate your decisions sometimes. Concentrating on application level stuff at the expense of infrastructure comes at a cost. In particular, spending time on better code review tools will in the long run accelerate your development velocity. This is supposed to be a key Pharo trait. Now note: I said "spending time". That MIGHT mean reinventing github's features. That MIGHT mean giving Camillo and friends free reign to integrate git into a Pharoer's workflow. But this kind of passive aggressive attitude is seriously counterproductive. Because you're _not_ just telling people to shut up and contribute. You're just telling people to shut up. At any rate, Esteban, people _are_ working on Smalltalk/github integration. Some of them are actually Pharo devs! frank
