I guess that one thing for immediate future of an open source "industry grade" smalltalk is to define foundation classes to deal with core functionality (file and directory management, (inter)networking, multimedia, interfacing with OS, user interface (including seamless use of full screen display and OpenGL), etc, etc, etc.
I hope to start to work on RestrictedSmalltalk once we got the bootstrap up and running. RestrictedSmalltalk should be closer to Smalltalk than RestrictedPython is from Python :) but I like the idea that we can understand what is really needed for the core and in particular from the reflective features.
Yes, knowing the foundation where we standing on can be quite life-sustaining. Ok, it's turtles but even the turtles are made of something. I would love to participate with you guys but that's hard if not present in personal, right? A good sparring-partner will be Craig I think. The last weekend he showed a list of classes and methods that he thinks are essential to do anything useful. A good startpoint for arguing. Norbert
