Damien, Stefan, thanks for the comments - good points. I have tried to improve the text, see http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/GettingStartedAbout It now has a list of packages that Pharo includes and another list of things that are not included. Newcomers can ignore these. Cheers Matthias On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 11:22 AM, Stefan Schmiedl <s@xss.de> wrote:

Don't give the tool names. Newcomers don't care.
... if they don't know the names from somewhere else. And newcomers are not the only ones reading "about" docs. How about
"... with scalable fonts (TrueType) and ??? widgets (Polymorph)"
but it is a fork: Do not expect Etoy/Nebraska to work in Pharo.
Again, Newcomers don't care in my opinion.
Again: a newcomer to Pharo is not necessarily a newcomer to Smalltalk or Squeak. I am a case in point: I intermittently dabbled with Squeak, so I have a rough knowledge about the "kid stuff" living in the image. A clear statement that this (for me) irrelevant stuff and its supporting cruft is removed, is a plus.
Just making Smalltalk, s.
