How does "extending Pharo help tool " sounds ? :)
Sounds good, but: I looked at your http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~kilon/Prometheas today and unfortunately you follow the "same old way" of building UI's as I did in my original help browser implementation. It's up to you (since it is your project) but I would rather see a completely new help browser implementation based on Spec. Let me tell you why: I also wrote the Config browser for Pharo, initially "old style" with an #initWindow and then later converted it to be based on Spec with a #defaultSpec. It was much easier (even when there was no UI builder available at this time). It is now possible to combine it with the other tools AND use it in the new shiny UI builder. If you want to check load the latest version of the new UI painter: Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'ErwanDouaille' project: 'UIPainter'; configurationOf: 'UIPainter'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfUIPainter) project version: 'baseline-0.1') load go to "Tools" -> "UIPainter" and drag the MetacelloConfigurationBrowser or the MetacelloConfigurationBrowserPane from the "Model" node onto the canvas. So if a future help tool will be based on Spec as well it could easily be integrated into any future Pharo tool. So if you have cycles to spend on the help system please go for a Spec version, but as I said it is up to you. Thanks! Bye T.
