Hmm. It solves the problem I definitely don't have with the configuration browser. It is supposed to be helpful and provide simple and working configurations. That doesn't work as the configurations are not composable (loading magritte and then loading seaside misses magritte-seaside).
That is a totally different problem, unrelated to the subject. It seems legit, but even more a problem of Metacello than of the Configuration Browser. Are groups advertised/available in a config ? How would you even implement what you want ?
As a new user, I don't want to know about multiple locations for repositories. If I have to, I don't want them to take up half the size of the window, and simultaneously I don't want them hidden behind a context menu. Why not use a simple drop-down select for the five repositories?
That is a good alternative.
And don't use the full url as a selection name as that doesn't fit. Just add the full url on hover
Yes, good idea.
Can we target the configuration browser please? So no possibility to add your own metarepo, just a tool that helps people getting started?

For me, it solves the limited visibility. The other aspects are worth discussing too. Sven
