Excellent!!!! :)
I've put methods in categories.
Can someone check ?
For independent Help packages, shouldn't we create a ConfigurationOfPharoHelp ?
Uhh this is a good question....let me write what it just came to my mind: - For external packages (external to PharoCore), they each have packages for tests, core, blah. Those that have Help pages, then it would be really cool to have a separate package for them. - For each external package, they need to only to put Help pages in a separate package, but also create a group for them in the Metacello Configuration. Then, people can choose what to load. - PharoDev should include the metacello groups that contains the Help. Now...regarding this example, about the shortcuts...that is related to PharoCore...So, we have to options: 1) Cotinue commiting them in 'http://www.squeaksource.com/HelpSystem' and create a ConfigurationOfPharoHelp that we load for the dev image 2) Commit them into PharoCore and then remove them in #cleanUpForProduction I am not sure which I like more, but I think 2). Since we have Help already integrated in the core, the idea is to use it, isn't it ? otherwise this should be in the dev image. And I like to have the Help as closer as possible to the real code. So, I choose for 2), but of course, I am all ears. Cheers Mariano
