Minipedia: Reimagining a Solarpunk Wikipedia from/for Global South

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi all :-), I made a small project last week, as a way to say good bye to my vacations ;-) and I thought you may be interested. We will be making some sparse activities around this project in our local hackerspace. On the technical level, Minipedia reimagines Wikipedia as made with Pharo and Fossil, instead of PHP, MySQL, Apache and so on. Below some teaser texts and images and you can find more at: https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/minipedia/ Cheers, Offray Luna Minipedia is a project that follows the Grafoscopio <https://mutabit.com/grafoscopio/en.html> Community principle of "/simplifying infrastructure to amplify participation/", reimagining Wikipedia as an enabler of Solarpunk(1 <https://wiki.sunbeam.city/>,2 <https://wiki.sunbeam.city/>) futures where the Global South people are equals in building the Knowledge Commons by helping to blur the distintion between (de)constructing contents and (de)constructing inclusive empowering interactive infrastructures, easier to understand, use, extend, and modify. Our working hypothesis is that will change the way we build Knowledge Commons contents together, when we change the way we build together enabling infrastructures for those contents and the people behind.

[ANN] Youtube video explaining how to set-up a Pharo project

by Julien Delplanque

Hello, I recorded myself setting up a Pharo project on Github this afternoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnt3OBhR18I The video shows how to: - Create git repository on Github, make Pharo be aware of it via Iceberg - Set-up the CI - Add CI badge and install script to your README (which we should all do systematically... :-) ). This can be useful for newcomers. Cheers, Julien

Re: [Pharo-users] Generate class hierarchy from JSON Schema

by Todd Blanchard

The official is https://github.com/pharo-rdbms/glorp (The one I forked at pharo-db - a username I need to change as it is causing confusion). I've been mostly working with P3 and SQLite together. I've standardized the query results format for fetching field definitions so if you want to add support for another db, please note the format of the result set and structure yours appropriately. I would very much like all the databases to be hosted under pharo-rdbms and all of them to have glorp adaptors and the additional meta structure queries I'm adding to the GlorpPlatform classes to enable ActiveRecord. I feel like Pharo's RDBMS story has been lagging and the lack of ready to go database support keeps people from building apps on it. There are a zillion little business CRUD apps that could be knocked out with spec2 or Seaside. Please, dive in and make improvements. > On Jan 20, 2020, at 9:15 AM, eftomi <tomaz.turk(a)ef.uni-lj.si> wrote: > > Todd, this is great, I didn't know that you are working on ActiveRecord. > > BTW, I have some minor additions to SQLServerPlatform (support for National > Language Character Set) and OraclePlatform (Decimal data type) - is there a > central git repository for Glorp so that I could PR to? > > Thanks and best wishes, > Tomaz > > > > -- > Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html >
