Cheap idea for us:
Good idea for a bit later, and for the new parts. We already have a number of well-known problems for new users. If we donât eliminate them first, weâre not going to find much new issues. They will be hidden behind: - no discoverable way of creating classes & methods; - buttons in the system browser without a visible relationship to the pane they operate on; - context menus that donât operate on the selected item but on a whole group; - menu size - modal editing - keyboard navigation of the ui There are quite some Pharoâers teaching introductions to smalltalk. I think they are aware of these issues. A few of them are on my slides, at least. And a few I always have to explain. Stephan
