Hi guys,
I am completely for inventing something new.
However, I do not think this is the right model for doing so. In a sense we are getting static, we put some tools in the image and expect people to use them.

Moreover, this model will force us, developers, to better target our tools. Make clear which are their objectives, showing their benefits, improve their design for understandability and extension and thus getting feedback and interested people. At the end better tools will emerge. In a word, better products, with a "natural selection" process.
So we than just make "Pharo" an unusable download and expect the users to evaluate and pick their favorite browser from 3 to-be-loaded ones? Do you think this is realistic? -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
