Accessibility?

by Avdi Grimm

Some of the discussions we've had here, particularly with regard to pointing-and-clicking being the primary, and sometimes only, way to do something, made me wonder: are there any projects in progress for making Pharo accessible to the blind or vision-impaired? -- Avdi Grimm http://avdi.org

Oh yes thx Nicolai, I did not look in the #doesNotUnderstand method. What is the main purpose of doing this instead of actually implementing a method ? 2015-05-25 19:20 GMT+02:00 Nicolai Hess <nicolaihess(a)web.de>: > > > 2015-05-25 18:27 GMT+02:00 Matthieu Lacaton <matthieu.lacaton(a)gmail.com>: > >> Hello everyone, >> >> It's probably a silly question but there is something I don't understand >> in the PharoCommonTools class.

This is a fundamental concept behind the implementation of Pharo (inheritance, method lookup). > Thanks, > > Matthieu

We should at least change the Nautilus title bar to "Nautilus System Browser" (or just "System Browser" ?) This would be a simple one for anyone wanting to dip their toe into the Pharo development workflow for the first time. Just log into Fogbugz and assign the issue to yourself. https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15608 http://pharo.org/contribute-propose-fix cheers -ben

PharoCommonTools methods

by Matthieu Lacaton

Hello everyone, It's probably a silly question but there is something I don't understand in the PharoCommonTools class. There are many methods in this class that i can't find in the image. For example, *PharoCommonTools >> workspaceTool* refers to "*self workspace*" but I can't find any method named workspace in this class or its super classes. And it is the same for all the other tools. What am I missing ? :s Thanks, Matthieu

Yes, itâs great to have an outside view of these things and have a well-written article with these tips.
