This means having a look at the issue tracker to find some issue that are interesting to work on could be an idea. Maybe a trello board could be used to sync for the remote sprinters. Marcus

DynaCASE

Hi Serge, I didn't want to hijack the original thread (more than I've already done), so I made a new one instead. Looks really impressive Peter ! > I put some pictures on my twitter account: > https://twitter.com/SergeStinckwich/status/582799867409526784 Thanks! I'll guess I will have to start using twitter now. :) Apparently there is an icon bug when you don't use the Eclipse set of icons. > Yeah, that's my mistake. Thanks for the bugreport. > I'm interested by Petri Nets in order to do Process Mining. > Petri Nets are being developed by my colleague Jan BlizniÄenko ( https://github.com/bliznjan?tab=repositories ) so he may have some more info. I've CCed him. > What kind of process models are you expected to implement ? > Do you plan to draw activity diagrams ? > Right now I'm working on BORM (Business and Object Relation Modeling) http://ccm.fit.cvut.cz/methodologies/borm/ (some of the materials are in Czech, but you can see diagrams in the first link in our current Eclipse-based tool); the following will be DEMO http://ccm.fit.cvut.cz/methodologies/demo/ I can imagine that it wouldn't be that complicated to extend current FSM to have activity diagrams (it's just two extra elements), so if you are interested in that I can look into it. Also I still have to migrate documentation to github so other people can extend it if they want. Thanks! Peter

Writing ConfigurationOf depending on beyond bleeding edge code
by Pierce Ng April 2, 2015

April 2, 2015

I've put up code for JSON-RPC (server only for now, tested with some Python client) on SS3. The code uses Sven's excellent Zinc and NeoJSON libraries. I'm now writing a ConfigurationOf. The current release of NeoJSON, going by its ConfigurationOf, has Neo-JSON-Core-Sven.27. However, I am using Neo-JSON-Core-Sven.29, which has NeoJSONWriter>>writeNil: required by the JSON-RPC spec. How should I express this dependency in JSON-RPC's ConfigurationOf? At present it looks like this (monkey-see monkey-do using some other configuration): spec project: 'NeoJSON' with: [ spec className: 'ConfigurationOfNeoJSON'; loads: #('Core'); repository: ... ] Thanks. Maybe if Sven reads this he can mark .29 as the stable release. That'll work too. :-) Pierce

what to use for simple parsing
by Peter UhnÃ¡k April 2, 2015

April 2, 2015

Hi, I would like to parse text like ----- id(param1, param2, ... paramX) id -> id id ->> id ----- id is alphanumeric string, param is any string optionally enclosed in quotes (so both quoted and unquoted string is needed) I saw that there are many tools for parsing but since I have no experience in such matters I don't know what would be the best. PetitParser? SmaCC? Something else? Thanks, Peter

Uncommon keyboard shortcuts on Windows
by Jan B. April 1, 2015

April 1, 2015

Hello First of all, I don't use much keyboard shortcuts on linux or mac, so all I write is just from point of Windows-only user. I would like to ask what is the reason of very uncommon keyboard shortcuts on Windows. Best example is redo/do again/invert undo... undo is ctrl+Z (which is right), but redo/do again is alt+J, which is something I have never seen anywhere, because it is mostly ctrl+Y (microsoft products), ctrl+shift+Z (photoshop for windows) or both (google and mozilla products on windows). Also, for select all, I have never seen any other shortcut than ctrl+A, but it is alt+A in Pharo... ctrl+A works only in playground. Is it a workaround because of a bug? Is it the bug itself? Or is it just a "feature", like using the same as some other OS does?

Cormas Pharo Port v0.2 available
by Serge Stinckwich April 1, 2015

April 1, 2015

Dear all, I made available a new version (v0.2) of Cormas on Pharo. CORMAS is a multi-agent simulation engine that is running on VisualWorks Smalltalk: http://cormas.cirad.fr/indexeng.htm You can download this version by using the last Moose 5.1 image : https://ci.inria.fr/moose/job/moose-5.1/ and doing in a Playground: Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/SergeStinckwich/CORMAS/main'; configurationOf: 'Cormas'; loadStable. At the moment, nothing is working ;-) Almost classes of the original VW version are now in Pharo except some classes like Jun* that will I guess disappear for the new version if we use ROASSAL instead. I will start to clean the code now in order to be able to run as simple model like Fire Automata model All the code is also available on github here: https://github.com/cormas/cormas If some of you want to be added in the CORMAS github org, please tell me: https://github.com/cormas I will feel less alone ;-) You can join the mailing-list to help here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cormas-dev Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/

quick poll - which OS do you use for Pharo?
by Peter UhnÃ¡k April 1, 2015

April 1, 2015

Hi, I've made a quick poll because I'm interested in the distribution of Pharo users among OSes. It's a single anonymous question, so it shouldn't take more than five seconds to complete :) http://strawpoll.me/4001583 Thanks :) Peter
