It has nice (mobile) clients and makes it easy to share pictures and snippets. As a result a large part of the communication about design and how to do things has moved from the mailing lists to Slack. As we're using the free version, and cannot afford to use the commercial version, we have no long-time storage of the design discussions. This contrasts with our mailing lists, that have a long-term archive. There was some discussion about this, and I'm not aware of that resulting in an accessible, easy to access archive. Also, we have not succeeded in summarizing design discussions from slack to the mailing lists. The resulting gap in design information forms an enormous long-term risk for our community. Without the design discussions it is much more difficult to later understand why decisions were taken. We cannot afford to let this short-term ease-of-use destroy Pharo's community history, and thereby Pharo. Let us fix this. I share many of what you sayâ¦ but in the other point of view, Slack as really worked and there is a lot more happening now in Slack + mailing list than what was before just in mailing list. But most of that is lost because of Slack policies (also Slack pricing model is impossible for a community as ours), and we need to find a solution for that. Last days we were experimenting with @kilon again on use discord as a substitute and I find that for now it works really well and with a bit of work we can have all what you want: discord incorporated a search function (and they do not have the 10k limit) and we could do a bot that logs everything that happens there and stores that into gists (or whatever, but gists seems like a good idea). With this we would have enhanced the availability of those discussions (it remains the fact that immediate communication is worst organised than mails, but wellâ¦ we need to try) Esteban > > Stephan > >

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but how does one browse Traits in the system for inspiration when creating a new one? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Trait-Searchability-tp4934131.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

About asSymbol message , some questions in my mind
by lb Feb. 13, 2017

Feb. 13, 2017

Hi, I know Symbol is subclass of String. Any string object can become symbol object by sending 'asSymbol' message.. I think symbol must has its meaning in comon use, so the symbol should be composed of alphabet or number âwithout spaceâ. BUT There are not compliant below 1. ' ' asSymbol >>>> no meaning 2. '$%%&' asSymbol >>>> no meaning 3. 'sign' asSymbol = 'sign ' asSymbol >>> false because of space. 3. ' one two three ' asSymbol >>> I think It should become three symbols = #one, #two, #three Mybe my understanding is wrong. Bing Liang

GitFileTree in Pharo 5
by sergio ruiz Feb. 13, 2017

Feb. 13, 2017

Hey, all. I am trying to install GitFileTree from the Catalog Browser. I get a warning that itâs not tested with Pharo 5. I go ahead anyway, and it just hangs. Has anyone else installed it on macOS? Is there a different package I should be using? Thanks! ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary Public Key:Â http://bit.ly/29z9fG0 #BitMessageÂ BM-NBaswViL21xqgg9STRJjaJaUoyiNe2dV http://www.Village-Buzz.com http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101

getting real changes from RB refactoring
by Peter Uhnak Feb. 13, 2017

Feb. 13, 2017

Hi, is there some filter that will reject RB changes that actually do not do anything? I.e. applying them would have no effect (same method code, class, inst var exists, ...). For methods I can do reject: [ :each | each oldVersionTextToDisplay = each textToDisplay ] for adding classes I had to add custom #oldVersionTextToDisplay ``` RBAddClassChange>>oldVersionTextToDisplay | class | class := Smalltalk globals at: self changeClassName ifAbsent: [ ^ '' ]. ^ '<1s> subclass: #<2s><n><t>instanceVariableNames: <3p><n><t>classVariableNames: <4p><n><t>poolDictionaries: ''''<n><t>category: ''<5s>''' expandMacrosWithArguments: {class superclass name. class name. class instanceVariables joinUsing: ' '. class classVariables joinUsing: ' '. class package name} ``` which is obviously ugly. Also RBAddClassChange doesn't understand any format where #package is used instead of #category, or slots are used. (As defined in RBAddClassChange class>>definitionPatterns , which is really weird).

Hi, I'm adding some Zotero[1] integration for my Grafoscopio project, now that I'm preparing a couple of papers for my PhD. For that, I'm using Citezen, but when I try to run the renderers to create bibTeX outputs I got the error "MessageNotUnderstood: Metaclass>>allMethodsInCategory:". How can I solve this?

Something wrong with my installation of Pharo
by Mark Neagu Feb. 12, 2017

Feb. 12, 2017

Hi, I believe I know why my installation doesn't work: It's not the installation, but something with Windows. I use for years "WindowsÂ 7 Ãdition Familiale Premium 64 bits Service Pack 1" without the slightest problem. But what I use my computer for is simply writing text, taking pictures and exchanging mails; nothing to do with programming. The conclusion, I think, is that some settings of Windows should be modified to adjust to these added uses. The complication is I'm no specialist of Windows; I just use it. That's why I would like a person knowledgeable in Windows AND Pharo, who could check my installation and correct it as needed. To that end we could use "TeamViewer": it wouldn't be overly long or too disturbing for the person. I am very grateful to the person who will accept to help me. Regards, Mark
