Thanks to all of you for your answers. It is clearer to me now Alexandre Le 19 déc. 2012 à 12:31, Göran Krampe <goran@krampe.se> a écrit :

By the way, is there a way to see what are the projects that are on SmalltalkHub?
If you read Nicolas answer in this thread before I changed the subject line, then you will see that no, currently one can't, but yes, of course we should and Nicolas is hacking on it :)
It is still not clear to me what are the benefits to use SmalltalkHub.
As I see it:
- Fully open source. It uses MongoDB at the bottom, not Gemstone.
- Fast. The architecture with Amber + a RESTful backend + Mongo should make it very responsive and fast.
- Modern look and feel and githubish features (watchers for example).
The problem with squeaksource.com is clearly identified: it is highly unstable. However ss3.gemstone.com looks reasonable. I can browse the project, version of it, see the list of active projects. It seems that SmalltalkHub does not show this?
I would chalk up anything that is "missing" as simply "still missing". But we should simply add the features we need.
Talking about wished feature, it would be nice to see from which countries/cities download and contribution are made...
I really hope to not start a long discussion. This is not my objective :-)
As a side note - I love OODBs and I love multitransactional super large persistent shared memory (Gemstone) :) but I still think SS3 seems very sluggish in some ways. Yesterday I was searching the projects for "XMLSupport" - it is of course at the far end of the alphabet ;) - and I repeatedly didn't even get an answer...
So I suspect SS3 is in some ways very naively built (which of course is the beauty of Gemstone in many ways, that one can just build it as if it was all in the image).
From Smalltalkhub I *expect* excellent speed because IMHO a modern app with such modern tools should simply be very fast.
