Yes. We want namespaces. But we don't want to discuss about them now if we don't have the manpower to *do* anything. Let's finish the stuff already started... we really can't open yet another things now. (At least I can't. I can't even read a discussion.

With something like IBM supercomputer Watson (re-programmed in Smalltalk of course) it should be possible to extract argumentation from previous posts and let bots compose nice threads. Nicolas 2011/5/20 Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr>:

If we could also program it to write research proposals and reports it would be even bette.

Stef (...) Yeah. Let's assume something like that:
#/bin/bash if [ $# -lt 2 ] then echo $0 "Wrong number of parameters. Plz, specify rant/bragging" else /usr/local/bin/restartOldDiscussion -topic $1 & PID=$! if [ $PID != "" ] then sleep `expr 3600 \* 24 \* 5` kill -KILL $PID fi fi That would limit "periodic discussions" to 5 days (top)... (sorry, couldn't resist)

No..We don't need that. We could ask someone to lead Endless Topic Of The Day, in same manner as Class Comment Of The Day and Bug Fix of The Day :) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
Suggestion: Put the answer to the "Namespaces issue" into the FAQ and then refer to that entry when the subject comes up again. regards, Göran

Thanks Marcus, this is a reasonable and argumented answer to the original question. I expect more such from others too. Janko -- Janko Mivšek Aida/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si

+1 I dreaming about namespaces. after we got a new compiler, environments, object spaces.. then we can see new horizons opening for us.
