Seems that Pharo is a magnet for this kind of project. I've been writing one as well and using it to organize my research notes. Does anyone working on personal info mgmt tools want to talk offline? I expect we're running into some of the same issues, both conceptual and technical. Evan

Aggregation framework in MongoTalk?
by phil＠highoctane.be Feb. 18, 2019

Feb. 18, 2019

Is there anyone using the aggregation framework of MongDb through MongoTalk? It uses the aggregate() command, so I was wondering if this could be supported out of the box or if there is a need for an additional Operation. TIA Phil

Hi, I'm getting this error while trying to prototype some interface with Spec on Moose 6.0: MessageNotUnderstood: ToolDockingBarMorph>>popUpOwner it happens anytime that I'm using displaying a MenuModel and I go to the menu items. I imagine that the menu item is complaining about a lacking pop up message. How can I solve this? Thanks, Offray

About validation
by StÃ©phane Ducasse March 11, 2018

Hi I read the chapter on validation of the mentoring course book of andres valloud. http://www.lulu.com/fr/fr/shop/andres-valloud/a-mentoring-course-on-smallta… And I love this extension of SUnit. I loved the idea when I saw it for the first time at Lugano (presentation of Leandro Caniglia). I encourage everybody to read it. Now does anybody implemented in Pharo the SUnit extension? I would like to play with it and eventually write a chapter on it for the next book. The idea is so good. Stef

A Suggested Promotion
by Richard Eng Jan. 1, 2017

Jan. 1, 2017

I have a suggestion for future Smalltalk advocates... The advent of Pi Zero last month is an interesting opportunity. This is a very, very cheap Raspberry Pi. Anyone can afford it. I'm thinking of kids, in particular. What if we could get kids to delve into Squeak or Pharo (Squeak is better optimized for Raspberry Pi) via the Pi Zero? A competition could be set up in various countries, such as Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan, etc., where the best student submission for a Smalltalk-based Pi Zero application would win a small scholarship prize (say, $500). A panel of judges in each country would decide the winner. The contest would be much less ambitious than my now-defunct Canadian Smalltalk Competition <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1520902870/canadian-smalltalk-competit…> (CSC). Less control (no real need to prevent cheating). Easier to raise the prize money. The nice thing is that it would be a multi-national promotion (it's tough getting a national school competition like CSC going in other countries). Of course, because it's less ambitious, we can expect to reach fewer kids. Instead of thousands, probably more like hundreds. I could be totally wrong on this; I could be totally surprised! I might even come out of retirement <https://medium.com/@richardeng/today-is-the-first-anniversary-of-smalltalk-…> to offer some creative services (eg, promotional graphics, websites, etc.). ð Anyway, it was just an interesting thought I had. Don't know if it stands up to scrutiny. Cheers, Richard

Mea Culpa

Okay, so far, I've made two mistakes. First was my lack of sensitivity to cultural differences around the world. Now that I know better, I shall do better. Second was my failure to distinguish between different subgroups within the Pharo forum. The reason I chose Pharo forum to discuss my campaign was the fact that it is the most active Smalltalk forum there is. People who are interested in Smalltalk join the most active forum generally, and this includes not only Pharoers, but people from ESUG, Squeak, Cincom, Amber, Redline, etc. So, for example, when I appealed for contributors to the Redline project, I should've distinguished the target audience as those groups other than Pharoers. This was my failure and I own up to it. It is unfortunate that I must use the Pharo forum for this purpose. The Smalltalk community is so terribly fragmented that there is no universal Smalltalk forum to address, at least, none that is actually *inhabited*. Without the ability to address the largest number of Smalltalkers, the SRP cannot make any progress. I'm sorry, but I have to be blunt. If anyone can offer a practical alternative, I'd like to hear it. Otherwise, the SRP has only two choices: 1) Continue what it is doing on the Pharo forum, and be mindful of which group(s) I am addressing. 2) Fold up the campaign and leave the destiny of Smalltalk to the Fates. Without the ability to reach out to Smalltalkers everywhere, I am hopelessly disadvantaged.

1. What is the status of this project (http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Seamless.html)? I see the last commit is in April. Does it "work"? 2. Can the communication be done securely? If I had two images each running on a server in a different physical location, could they communicate over something like SSL? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Seamless-tp4840907.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Tables in Pillar
by phil＠highoctane.be April 3, 2016

April 3, 2016

How is one doing a cell with content wrapping on multiple lines? With the | X | Y | abcd | some very long text that should be wrapping but apparently doesn't. So it is very annoying when one attempts to describe a long thing, which is one purpose for a table. I get one single line for each entry. How to do that? TIA Phil
