Hi,
We would like to organize a Pharo Sprint on Saturday, February 26 at SCG, University of Berne, Switzerland (room 107): http://scg.unibe.ch/contact/maps
Unlike other sprints, this would not be about fixing things from the tracker, but about building something new and reviewing the situation around one central topic. For this one, the main topic will be Morphic and the IDE. Why? Because it is time to rethink our day-to-day tools and bring them closer to this century (ok, maybe decade :)). It is Ok if you are not a specialist. It is more important to want to participate and learn. The rest will come in time.
Very very nice topic for sprint! UI are long awaiting for refurbishing... ahh.. There was a lot of ideas we discussed with Gary over these years, and many of them should find the way to the world at some day. alas.. i'm too busy with other boring stuff to do fun things with UI :(
***** Please let us know by mail if you plan to attend and what you would wish to work on (see below).
Proposed tasks (other tasks are possible in the same area): - Enhancements of Morphic widgets: --- TabGroupMorph with lazy pages, closable tabs, overflow handling and toolbars (a start exists in Glamour) --- High level support for collapsable panes (based on the input of Gary) --- SearchMorph with multiple groups of items (like in Spotlight) --- MorphTreeMorph integrated with GeneralScrollPane to allow for space filling --- BreadcrumbMorph --- Hyperlinks in TextMorphs - Test and enhance the current IDE - Evaluate TextMorphs: NewTextMorph, PluggableTextMorph, SMxPluggableTextMorph etc
- Prototype a new ToolSet solution
Doru, there is already a working prototoype. It should work out of the box , and if not, it will require some minor changes. We need to take a time and review it and see if it needs some changes. The changeset i am talking about is buried in mailing list. But it can be easily found if you follow the links at issue tracker.
- Enhancements of Glamour and of the Glamorous Toolkit --- Debugger --- Coder --- Multipage Workspace --- CodeBubbles - Develop WeakAnnouncement (start from the implementation of Lukas) - Evaluate the various keybinding implementations - Evaluate ToolBuilder - Evaluate the path to adopt SimpleMorphic
A second working topic is getting Monticello faster, but this will only be tackled if there are enough people for the first one.
Cheers, Adrian and Doru
