Jan, Thanks for your contribution. Actually I hadn't uploaded anything yet since I was waiting on more votes on renaming, but to push ahead I settled on SmalltalkCompatibility [1], since I think the repo can serve a wider purpose than just ANSI. I added you to the PharoExtras team. Hopefully that works.

I would rename it to SmalltalkCompatibility to ANSICompatibility because "Compatibility" is a too general term and could mean backward compatibility of Pharo versions or compatibility to other languages as well.
That was me :) I was thinking more broadly that over time the "repository" might hold different packages Compatibility-ANSI, Compatibility-VW, Compatibility-Dolphin. But maybe that is overreaching and its better to be more focussed. Let me know what you think on this and restate what you think the repository name should be.
Ben, could you please give me a commit access? I intend to move Compatibility-SmalltalkX and Compatibility-ANSI (which I created and "maintain" for my own need). Maybe some others may find them useful or maybe even contribute.
Cheers, Jan
Also see http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2384 and http://map.squeak.org/package/d7011055-4446-4b8e-b6da-e7e32d3389ec which could be a start.
I saw those, but they interact with existing classes, so I thought it easier to kickstart by loading in the tests first, which are all new classes. I only created the repository since the tests were *hard* to find eventually at http://www.spacmunke.org/svn/jst/trunk/src/test/ansi/ansi-compatibili ty/ So I thought it would be good make them more accessible as a Monticello Package.

P.S. I don't quite follow "to SmalltalkCompatibility to ANSICompatibility" do you mean "to SmalltalkCompatibility or ANSICompatibility" ?

We should have a SmalltalkCompatibility (not Ansi per se) package were we can add some methods to help migration.

Hi,
is there actually such a thing like ANSICompatibility package? (it has been mentioned here lately, but I cannot find it)
Thanks, Jan
I made it up for the purpose of discussion to see what interest it generated. Should we start one ? cheers -ben
