Hi Guille,

nice writeup and definitely needed. Thanks a lot!

If possible you should complete it with:

��- how Windows users could contribute ��

Hard topic. I'm taking benefit of my gf's windows computer right now to test. Basically, windows has problems with long paths but there are workarounds. Icerberg works by default without any changes (same bugs as in linux and osx at least :)). Here are my notes to make it work:

* Download latest pharo:

�� - http://files.pharo.org/image/70/latest-32.zip

�� - http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur32/win/stable-20170720.zip

* Clone using sourcetree

�� This is very slow and failed to checkout (not clone) because of the "Filename too long errors"

��

I found for this the following workaround: http://pingec.si/blog/articles/msysgit-longpath/

Once I did that, sourcetree worked nicely, and I could commit and change branches using iceberg.

Warning: I did not test making changes on the "long files" to see what happens...

��

��- ��that #development branch is used instead of master

I'll make another writeup about the entire process.

��

�� - how one can keep his own fork up to date

And about this one too

��

Also it would be good to have the AboutBox in Pharo with the build number ��again.��

��

Because the ZeroCnnf just gives you a Pharo.image and nobody knows what the build number
or sha was to reproduce how old or new this is.

Well, actually right now

SystemVersion current

has the hash of the commit the image was generated from if you check the inspector. It's then a UI problem and easy to fix. Maybe somebody could use this to try making a pull request?

Then, we could add a build number in SystemVersion of course.

Hi,��

I've made some write up for the pharo part (not metacello or external projects)

Of course, expect bugs on it :) Not everything is smooth. If you have comments, they are welcome.
