I would say publish an environment like iPad/ Android totally out of Pharo and let there be a marketplace for all apps any developer in Pharo can create in 3 days - 90 days and publish it in a Pharo Marketplace that has a commercial interest attached or make it open source/ free thereof. See: http://picasaweb.google.com/skrishnamachari/PharoTabletIDE Once you can grow a profit center out of this environment, all this popularity et als will flow On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 3:15 PM, Stefan Krecher < stefan.krecher@googlemail.com> wrote:

But let me dream: If pharo was organized as a scrum-project and if i was the product owner, i would suspend the current pharo development and instruct the team to work the complete next sprint (e.g. 4 weeks) on an OpenSource-Project for some general use.
like the compiler, like integration server, like building VM, like creating the next generation UI. You see we are doing that. Now we only have one engineer and he is quite busy. All the rest of the team is not payed to develop Pharo but to teach, publish papers and ideas.
the things you mentioned are very usefull - no doubt. But are these projects arguments for trying out pharo or for using it on the next project for a customer?
