This is a MUST if Pharo wants to be business friendly.

I couldn't agree more. �A platform must have an excellent FFI to be useful.

- Unify the VMs. Have only ONE place where a single pharo user can go and pickup a VM. Have ANOTHER place for those bleeding edge or experiment VMs.
This means merging gforge, jenkins, pharo website, pharo one click, etc.
In addition, we need a way to IDENTIFY a VM. So that when someone reports a bug, we can exactly know which VM to reproduce it.

- Integrate Nautilus with RB. Nobody (ok, most of us) cannot work without RB integration. Ok, integrations could live without that, but they INTEGRATE. If you are DEVELOPING you cannot develop without RB. If nobody will make OB to work in 1.4, then someone needs to integrate Nautilus with RB, otherwise people will stick with 1.3 and never change.

- Make development really tools work in Pharo 1.4:� OCompletion, Shout

- Continue pushing Coral, Zinc, Ocean, DBXTalk, Fuel, Nautilus, etc.

- Maintain issue tracker: let's give Marcus a rest. This means tagging issues, close them, validate, etc etc etc.

Cheers

I can't take credit for thinking of the bridge, I was simply acknowledging it and the breadth of its audience as part of my shameless attempt to direct effort toward another feature that would get a lot of use :)

Yes! Thank you for the reminder, I'd temporarily given up and forgotten
about this. A stable, well-documented ObjC bridge would be /huge/. My
inability to effectively use it was one of the key drivers in my delving
into debugging the VM. Like FFI, I think documentation will be extremely
important here.
