Just wondering if something similar can be done with Announcements?� I think the Omnibrowser folks recently started wiring everything together using Announcments...?
Not sure...just interested!
Take care,

I did a talk(attached) at OOPSLA several years ago to explain the benefits of ValueModels to java programmers, it was way over their heads.
It's unfortunate as today I've yet to see anything in java that approaches the productivity they provide.

Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Making GUI'SValue Models, TypeConverter library, SubCanvas support(super powerful idea here), etc... some really wonderful idioms long lost in OO guis.
VisualWorks had some really nice frameworks that were discarded due to them being undervalued.
I hope to eventually re-introduce some of these fun frameworks into pharo given my time constraints and interest from potential users.

Magritte seems like it might be a superior alternative to VisualWorks ValueModels;� I haven't explored it enough to really know yet.
Pharo is the most exciting thing to come along for me in quite awhile!

So may be we could have a kind of bounty system for pharo.
Frankly we are rather full and we (the core) have not that much time for
extensions but we would support any work in the direction of
� � � �UIBuilder
� � � �TestServer
� � � �Package....
� � � �FileWrite-Rio kind of integration
� � � �Better MC support (yes I should look at MC1.5)
� � � �Better SUnit
