Fortunately in the past the lack of namespaces caused the use of prefixes instead of suffixes. With time prefixes become invisible. A suffix, instead, will get into all your names, bothering with other existing suffixes like `Component`, `Model`, `Collection`, and so on. -- Esteban A. Maringolo

That is what I was trying to get at in the other thread [1], but not explaining very well. The thing is that this should be *the default view* of the system for new users. The left browser pane could have at least three views of the system: - Packages - What we have now - Least generally important (really only matters for modularity when you're adding code) - Projects - What's been proposed because many packages could be collected under one project node - Better than the above, but still falls prey to the problems being mentioned (i.e. WTH is a Seashell/Coral/SandCastle/FishingPole - what are they *for*) - Purpose/Category/Tag - This was the function of the original System categories and what I think Esteban is proposing. Of course in the browser and other tools the arrows would flow differently: 'Browser' -> #(Calypso Nautilus) -> some more info 1. http://forum.world.st/Why-can-t-we-use-in-protocol-for-package-extension-tp… ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

A somewhat unique name makes it easier to google for it (like Roassal Pharo, or DeepTraverser Pharo, or Zinc Pharo). These will give us hits that are relevant. Try System Browser, Inspector... And Apple has worked with NSObject and stuff like that without too much trouble (at a much larger scale for whatever XyzKit they released). Ah, yes, they used the "Kit" suffix. Maybe can we have something like that with Pharo. Like SystemBrowserKit ( nah, too Appleish. Let's try SystemBrowserMeccano (longish), or SystemBrowserPack (too bland), or SystemBrowserGear (why not), SystemBrowserRig (this one sounds cool actually)). Now, I am back to liking the current naming. Phil On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 2:43 PM, Andrew Glynn <aglynn42(a)gmail.com> wrote: > How many subsystems that do pretty much the same thing exist in Java?

I am not complaining about these exchanges, which were interesting indeed. Just that P7 is still in flux and not something I can use in some way for my projects. No problem with that, just that I cannot afford using it in projects for clients, it is too much of a risk. So, I am not testing it as much as I'd like. I have found that the real issues show up with cases I face in such projects.

Can you make the video available online? Another question, is there a tutorial on Iceberg?
