Don't give the tool names. Newcomers don't care.
Starting from version 1.0, Pharo wants to be stable to make sure that we can produce ideas based on it. An important test for Pharo is that mission critical Seaside (http://www.seaside.st) applications should run on it.
Pharo started from Squeak (http://www.squeak.org) [which version, 3.10?]
3.9
but it is a fork: Do not expect Etoy/Nebraska to work in Pharo.
Again, Newcomers don't care in my opinion.
We will try to avoid to reinvent the wheel but will change if changing is better. Pharo wants to take a fresh look at the Smalltalk philosophy and current implementations. Ideally by 2011 we would like to have a small kernel and some cool packages that we can load on top. The current focus is not to produce such a kernel but good packages.
[A few words about the code that is already there in Pharo, please]
