Is it now possible to browse Smalltalk class/packages/methods/categories using Ring?

yes

Said differently, how can I instanciate Ring on the image?

so far veronica did a MC bridge and also You can have a look in the ringCaseStudy for example veronica creates ring object to replace the pseudoClass So normally ring use the API (or will use the API of ring) and we will be able to browse remote or pseudo or class in another kernel.

(Point>>#dist:) asRingDefinition Now there is no automatic creation (because it would mean reifying everything). Now may be we will provide an interface. RIght now you have to explicitly create ring objects or convert existing ones to ring. We will add = because this is missing. Stef On Jul 27, 2011, at 12:50 PM, Damien Cassou wrote:

That's blabla :-). How do I get the Ring meta-model instantiated for my image?

So I guess I can't use Ring as a meta-model for building browsers with Glamour.

Why? Your conclusion makes no sense to me. Nautilus and all the browsers built by benjamin and will (with some adaptation) manipulate: compiledMethod class methodReference and their ring counterparts. So I do not see why you cannot do the same. There is no magic read the paper. Stef
