So, having an OPEN SOURCE project, with limited resources means that there is a lot of things that depend on the community. It depends on the community not just to fix, but to enlarge the ecosystem in general too. It is a matter of tolerance and patience.
Not only it is a matter of people writing doc so that we do not have to do it, adding tests, checking bugs,.... proposing fixes.
You keep doing your great job, but accept that we, outside of the internal, core, revolutionary research being made, might have mundane necessities. That on the daily basis have more importance than a futuristic 128bit manycore vm that kicks JVM's ass :D
But we even not working on that. JUST PLAIN BUGS. and if everybody would spend 1 hour per week reviewing and improving some libraries then we would have more impact.
So, I refuse to believe that we cannot be a cool and helpful community. We are.
Email sometimes is counterproductive to the health of the communication. It's like a fence between us. And as the saying, transliterated, goes: "We're like dogs barking at both sides of the fence that when together they smell at each other and waggle their tails." :)
Yes this is true too. Still Pharo is yours not mine.
In conclusion: not helping does not help :) Please consider than USING Pharo is a way to contribute to it.
yes but we are small and using is not enough
Even if you had infinite manpower but no one uses it, it would be worthless. Give me 2 Millions Euros and you will see that lot of people will come and use it.
Esteban, still grateful of belonging to this community ditto :)
