about communication and collaboration

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Dear Pharoers last january I visited another lab and I realised that the Pharo Team was not good at systematically telling what we were doing. I got quite frustrated by that situation, especially because we are working hard to build a better system. So we brainstormed when I came back and we want to apply the same ideas that what we do for our research team. For our research team every monday we get a simple mail that tell us to say to the others what we did and what we plan to do. Simple, easy. Then after people of the rmod team can discuss if they want more. We want to do the same with pharo. Often this is not that we are not doing things. Often we are doing boring, tedious stupid but $^%&&*^ important tasks and we want that you know it. In addition we want to share on what we are weekly working. So that you can be more engaged to join and collaborate with us. So we will launch an experience and see. For now we will send a notification every two weeks. the Pharo Team

Hello Sven, I am getting back to this topic. I asked a server admin to create a repository for me. He followed the PBE2 chapter on Monticello to configure the server (http://pharobooks.gforge.inria.fr/PharoByExampleTwo-Eng/latest/Monticello.p…) I can send you the login information if that help.

Re: [Pharo-users] GSoC13 projects

by Carla F. Griggio

Hello! They are only for students, as those are the rules for every Google Summer of Code. Sorry :/ Anyway, if you think you can collaborate to a project you can also help mentoring. And if the project doesn't get selected, of course people could work on it anytime :) Cheers!

GSoC13 projects

by Paul Davidowitz

Are the GSoC13 projects open to the general Smalltalking public, or are they only for students? Some of the projects sound quite interesting!

Re: [Pharo-users] HTML5 Parser

Learn petit parser way of doing things. It takes a while to grok. Well, at least, there is still a ton to learn AFAIAC But it is very powerful.

HTML5 Parser

by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni)

Hello again, Im building an HTML5 Parser in smalltalk. Im building it according to the pseudo code provided by WHATWG mainly these: Tokenization: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tokenization.ht… Tree Construction: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tree-constructi… Im still in the Tokenization phase. The spec defines a state machine. It describes what has to be done when we reach a certain state. My approach to building the tokenizer is by representing each state as a method. Each method does some operations ( calling other methods to represent changing state or returning tokens etc..) I will be translating the pseudo code provided as is to Smalltalk. I am not sure if this is the best approach to do things especially that I am still new to Smalltalk. I was told by Stephane Ducasse to use PetitParser. Doing a quick reading I noticed that it is used when grammars are available. In my case I don't have a grammar but pseudo-code of a parser. Can I know if anyone has any suggestions for such a project or any comments on the approach I am aiming to follow ? Thanks in advance, Mohammad

Thanks for the reply and kindness Ben. This was the pharo I was using actually. Its pharo 1.1 and it was the reason behind the problem.
