I'm doing a pass on your code OrderedCollection new is better to me than #() asOrderedCollection. GUI_ListCourtCase new openWithSpec => DNU So I added the first missing method, but you should define the corresponding methods in the class.

Hi yuri some feedback before looking into spec. tab method bodies then do not use instance variables with uppercase.

Is it enough if I just attach it? I slightly changed the code, that leads to error: "DoesNotUndestand #plaintiffsTextInput" .

Hi Yuriy this is difficult to debug remotely. Do you have your code somewhere?

Looking for names for the booklet collection

by Stephane Ducasse

Hi I would like to make a distinction between booklet on Pharo technologies (Smacc, Voyage, Scraping ...) and the booklets more oriented towards teaching something with pharo (building an interpreter, a reflective language...) Right now we have The Pharo Booklet Collection. And I'm looking for two names the Pharo academic booklet collection ? and the Pharo technology booklet collection ? Stef

Re: [Pharo-users] Ever growing image

But the building process is working and we can incrementally create custom images. And this is what we will use in the future but we will not build the image that suits everybody needs.

Hilaire if you believe that we are a bunch a morons this is up to you. Now we do pay a lot of attention to our system but our ressources are scarce and we try to satisfy many different concerns. And we do not get that much help from people. You see doing something real and of good quality takes a lot of time and energy. And I think that we are successful. It does not mean that we cannot improve. > Sorry to discuss these topics again, really don't want but still need to > share a few thoughts.
