Re: [Pharo-project] Graph library in Smalltalk - Need for advices (St?phane Ducasse)
May this is a ridiculuous thought but may be it would be good to start an effort on build a library for Smalltalk. Reusing some part of mondrian could be good.
It would be very slow and really a lot of work. Mondrian is nice for visualization, but a Graph library is a lot more than that.
But not starting means that we will never have anything. If there are multiple people needed something this means that they can join forces. For Moose, mondrian, glamour, petitParser, RB.... nothing came out from a day to the other one this is just that some guys starred and continued to push.

If there was a basic library for graphs then people who need specific graph algorithm implementations could contribute that implementation once they complete it for their application. By this means a more complete graph library would gradually evolve. All we need for now is a well designed framework for implementing graph algorithms in with implementations of some common algorithms.
