### Here's what I've been up to since the last WhatsUp:
PharoLauncher (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher/) - glamour-based GUI - Jenkins + files.pharo.org automatic fetch of images - save downloaded zip files for later reuse (with Erwan Douaille) - many class and method comments - refactorings - you can start trying it now
Cool. You mention in its design specification that it will be cross platform. Is that the case as this stage? I'm not sure if I follow Jenkins logs properly but there seems only a Linux job running. btw, Are there any plans for PharoLauncher to help report VM bugs? Eliot once mentioned on [vm-dev] that the best VM bug reports provide a launch script that reproduces the VM crash. The PharoLauncher could monitor VMs that don't close cleanly, and then lead the user through generating such a script. Then at the click of a button, the script, VM and image can be packaged up for submitting to a bug tracker. Much further down the line, PharoLauncher might even enable a VM flag to log all UI events from which a crash-script could be generated. cheers -ben
Smalltalkhub - check my previous fixes (with Nicolas Petton) - add features and fix many issues (http://code.google.com/p/smalltalk-hub/issues/list)
Traits - mentoring Sebastian Tleyle for improving both trait implementation and browsing support
Command line interface - implement the "--save" option in both Pharo 2.0 and Pharo 3.0 that should be used for all "eval" scripts on the command line instead of using "Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: true"
### What's next, until 2013-06-16 (*):
probably nothing as I won't have time. But I will try to work on the PharoLauncher as I (and others) want to use it everyday.
