He recently posted about this... I have the base git support... I carefully avoided the "tools for merging" part :P Anybody who has done merges with git, especially on Monticello packages under filetree format, will understand why :( (I tend to merge under Monticello and recommit instead. Works very well, but doesn't register as a merge for git. It's something I'd like to solve eventually, one day...)

* An interface to manage Smalltalk source code in GIT with tools for merging etc. - with Portability as a primary design goal (Cypress sure is the place to start from) * Tools to handle non-Smalltalk artefacts from within the Smalltalk IDE (JavaScript, XML, CSS, HTML, JSON) with an integration to the before-mentioned project idea - a portable kernel for handling this external stuff plus an API to put tools on top of it Joachim > btc(a)openinworld.com hat am 4.

* Inboxes on SmalltalkHub projects * Smalltalk based issue tracker. Maybe integrated with SmalltalkHub. Maybe project [1] from last year, although it seems quite a lot to it. btw, after getting through the troubles getting a login, I find I quite like Fogbugz.

Re: [Pharo-users] Could Pharo be more idiot-proof?

by PBK Research

Daniel Thanks for the comments. I have tried Prolog too, but didn't get very far. I am hoping to deal with pretty arbitrary inputs (typically news stories from internet newspapers etc), but initially just searching for key words and phrases. So far I have used PP to construct a pretty good tokeniser to identify words, sentences, punctuation etc, which was not very difficult. It may be that I won't get very far, but I'm retired and I do this for fun, so what the heck.

I have used Prolog DCGs to mess around with this kind of thing, and if you have a lot of control over the input and your expectations you can make progress with a tool for formal languages, but if you want to do something sophisticated or support arbitrary inputs, you're probably wasting your time. -- Daniel Lyons

Google Summer of Code is here, your ideas please!

by Janko MivÅ¡ek

Dear Smalltalkers, Tenth GSoC is here and application deadline is earlier this year, already next Friday! Time therefore for your cool project ideas on this year Smalltalk GSoC Hurry up! For now just express any idea you have here on the mailing list. Later we will together develop it to be in complete format together with two mentors needed. To see how fully developed ideas look like please look at 2012 ones at:http://gsoc2013.esug.org/ideas. Ideally (but not necessary right now) you should prepare an idea following this template: ----------------------------------------------- Title: Level: (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Possible mentor: (can be assigned later) Possible second mentor: (can be assigned later) Description Technical Details Benefits to the Student Benefits to the Community ------------------------------------------------- Note also that students yourselves can propose a GSoC project. So if you like to be a student on this year GSoC and have a nice idea, don't be shy and propose it here! The community will listen you and guide to the really nicely proposed project. For the community, start looking around for students. Think about how to approach the universities near by you, do you know who to contact there, etc. Our special website is in preparation and will be online in few days. Official Google GSoC site is here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014. Specially read carefully the FAQ: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc20… Mentors of all past GSoCs please rejoin the mentors mailing list where we discuss all details about this year GSoC: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-mentors While students interested on GSoC please join a special Smalltalk GSoC mailing list for you: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-students Best regards Janko -- Janko MivÅ¡ek Smalltalk GSoC Admin Team

[ANN] Public Pharo Sprint in Lille

by Marcus Denker

Hi, We are often doing Sprints the friday afternoon here in the team. For the following dates we plan to have larger sprints (e.g. with food organised): Friday, Feb 14 Friday, March 7 Friday, April 11 Friday, May 23 Where? Inria Lille, Building B If you happen to be close some other Friday, feel free to join the smaller sprint, too. And people can organise sprints everywhere, so feel free to organise one yourself at your location. The idea of the sprint is to do either boring or complex things that nobody found the energy to do alone. On the last Sprint before Christmas we killed 30 bugs, for example. Marcus

Re: [Pharo-users] Roassal Sunburst examples not working

Currently Roassal ask the system settings for the current fonts. I suggest you do the following: World Menu > System > Settings > Appearance: - Activate Use Free type... (If is already activated, deactivate it and activate it again). - Standard Fonts > Select the fonts you want to use. In a Moose 5.0 Image that worked for me, if you have any issue with that please let us know.
