Yes, definitely. I can say, in my own experience, that trying to fix bugs help me learn a lot of things about the environment itself (Are things that if I'm not looking at for fix bugs surelly will not look).
This is cool I learned a lot doing that since squeak 3.3. or 3.2 (In fact I started to talk about marcus about jazz when we were both harvesters and never meet.)
Obviously, I'm not talking about igor and other people with a lot more knowledgment than me, only commenting my own experience. And by other hand, if I use Pharo, I feel the need of help on the development, it's the open source spirit.
Thanks. I think that taking care of a stuff that can help you for your projects is important in general. For example people can ask themselves: why stef is spending so much time on ESUG (because this is a lot of time and energy), well simple, when I discovered Smalltalk I went to the conf and it was dying (both the language and the conference) so I thought either I complain: "oh my language is dying sniff sniff", "when I was young there were a cool conference". Or I do something to try to make the future better. Simple is n't it? Something you do not know if it will work but trying is the only chance we got.
Yes, it is. There is a little people who put as much energy into it (smalltalk in general) as you do, totally freely, without any business agenda. I can only applaud your efforts and wish you success. And, please continue :)
About the pics page, I think that is very important to expose our names to possible companies requiring work, very important to freelancers as me.
Just my opinion.
This is an important one :) Pharo is our software not mine.
