Who is his/her right mind would be able to make sense of this without a lot of preexposure? And who the hell are those people? And figuring out they need to right click, followed by a load configuration *and* stable version? Followed by a loooong wait. And if there is no internet, well, it would freeze for a significant while. That's the feedback I get from people I try to get into the flow. Lots of blank stares... along the lines of "What the heck are you doing?" Phil 2012/6/17 Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm@gmail.com>:

Is Nautilus under any consideration to be the default browser for your summer release at all, or are you firmly committed to OB? I need to know this to continue updating Pharo By Example for 1.4.
this is an interesting and important issue (much more than codenames, he). I will extend my latest answer, using what I know (maybe Benjamin has another idea, and would be good to know it):
Nautilus is in development, there are some important functionalities that are not there yet, and some others that does not work properly. Refactors and Traits is the most important things I can think of now, but there are probably more. Also, Nautilus relies in RPackage, which was not ready for 1.4 (but will be ready for 2.0). And some other packages (like OB itself) can be not-loadable after installing Nautilus. To make all of this work in 1.4 can be a huge job (at least for RPackage, it is, I don't know for Nautilus). I know that RPackage cannot be backported without a lot of effort, but I don't know if Nautilus for 1.4 can be adapted to not use RPackage easily (which AFAIK, should be necessary to make it work propertly).
So, I will like your work (which is IMO terribly important) would take Nautilus. But I also think that loading it for default in 1.4 is probably too much. Frankly, Â I don't know what to do now :)
