That sounds awesome Craig, congratulations. If you ever do a video of a reasonably-sized imprinting experiment onto your core-classes image from a modern Squeak image, I will be very interested to see it! On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Craig Latta <craig@netjam.org> wrote:

Hoi all--

Context[1] is the umbrella project for Naiad (a distributed module system for all Smalltalks[2]), Spoon (a minimal object memory that provides the starting point for Naiad), and Lightning (a remote-messaging framework which performs live serialization, used by Naiad for moving methods and other objects between systems). I intend for it to be a future release of Squeak, and a launcher and module system for all the other Smalltalks. I'm writing Context apps for cloud computing, web services, and distributed computation.

Commits b7676ba2cc and later of the Context git repo[3] have:

- Support for installable object memories as git submodule repos.

- Submodule repos for memories for each of the known Smalltalk dialects, with Naiad support pre-loaded. I'm currently working on the submodules for Squeak[4] and Pharo[5].

- A web-browser-based console for launching and managing object memories.

- A WebDAV-based virtual filesystem that enables Smalltalk to appear as a network-attached storage device, and mappings of the system to that filesystem that make Smalltalk accessible from external text editors (e.g., for editing code, managing processes and object memories).

- Remote code and process browsers.

Live discussion at [6]. Mailing list at [7]. The newsgroup is gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.context.

Thanks for checking it out!
