This is super cool! I want to use that for my daily work. Thanks :) I hope it works for daily work very soon (in fact I started the project because I wanted to use something like this for work) Currentlly is a little buggy, but I will stabilize it as my "summer project" (here is summer, and a very hot summer :) )
I used the installer script to load Mars into the latest Pharo image. During the last step I got an error that the class OBCmdAddWorkingCopy cannot be found, but other than that it worked nicely.
Strange... but OBCmdAddWorkingCopy is part of OB-Enhancements, and is changing very fast... I stopped support for OBPackageBrowser for a moment because it was changing faster that I can follow it. I hope to face OB-Enhancements support soon, though. Btw, it should work now, but OBTreeColumn from OBPackageBrowser (and it's OB-Mars representation) was very slow, because of all the introspection of monticello packages needed. Cheers, Esteban
The menu appears correctly and I can successfully open Transcript and Workspace. These two windows are fully functional too, however all the other browsers don't work. Nothing happens when I try to open them. Is there anything I am missing?
Cheers, Lukas

Hi esteban
Cooool. Sounds exciting. What is the size of Mars? How did you get multiple windows :) Are call back from cocoa handled?

Hi, I'm introducing Mars (just another world)
Mars is a world for Squeak (and all it's forks) builded as an MVC on top of Cocoa (OSX framework) and OmniBrowser. For that reason, Mars just runs on OSX environments. While this project has some similariries with SqueakGTK and wxSqueak, it has big differences: 1) Mars is not a port of Cocoa for squeak, is just an MVC implementation who uses Cocoa. Why that "subtle" distinction? well, SqueakGTK is a full port of GTK+ library and for that reason, a little big a and a little too complex. I'm following simplicity as one of the project goals. 2) Mars is a plugin, and will run in any fork of squeak, and OB-Mars (Mars world) will run in any fork of squeak who can load OmniBrowser. This is a big difference with wxSqueak, wich is a fork it self (and requires an special VM)
And of course, while both efforts (SqueakGTK and wxWidgets) are cool, none of them can be executed (and won't ever be) in small environments, like the iphone, which is one of my main objectives (using John's new VM and Edgar's work on minimal image building)
Mars is MIT and can be downloaded following instructions from here: http ://www.smallworks.com.ar/productos/Mars/Download For more details (history, blog, etc.), you can go to: http://www.smallw orks.com.ar/productos/Mars
DISCLAIMER: Right now, Mars is vere-very alpha stage (though it runs and can be used) and I would love any contribution in the form of: bug reports (there will be a lot now), feature requests, comments, and of course, code :)
Cheers, Esteban
