We have a large community with many, many users - but still only a few
contribute to the core system.
I wonder why and would like to know:
- Is it due to the switch to git ?
- Is is due to the new contribution process?
- Is it for other reasons?
For me; a combination of 1 and 2.
I've done work in Pharo 6.1 during the Pharo7 process, but had no idea how
to easily forward-port any base fixes to Pharo 7. The times I tried (after a
good old-fashioned file-out), I failed to get Iceberg check out Pharo7 on
Windows.
IIRC, I believe I resorted to posting an .st in the issues (which then timed
out after a year of being stuck in for review status with no automatical
validation)
As such, I'm absent from the contributor list for the first time since...
Pharo 1.1? ;)
I hope switching to Pharo8 branch and commiting fixes while working in
Pharo7 will be easier?
