As there is no big reason to move, I don't move because it takes time I can't spend at the moment. It will take some time to get used to the new environment, too. That means I need to figure out how to reestablish most of the 1.4 behavior (keyboard shortcuts, etc..) first. I will move on a project by project basis to 2.0 and for the time I need to work in a mixed environment I'm not ready to use two different UI/keyboard/mouse/whatever systems. So mimicking 1.4 behavior in 2.0 is first and getting used to the new ways comes after. Getting used to new things does not include keyboard shortcuts. I don't like them and I fear the day the support for 1.x shortcuts will be treated as legacy burden. It's just that there are people that hate emacs and everything that is like it :) But I'm in progress to move a project to 2.0. We'll see! Norbert

Hi Paul, Can you continue describing your idea so that one will grasp the essentials without needing to open first the Wikipedia links. Idea looks promising, just not clarified yet enough. I'm pretty user you can continue evolving it by yourself.

I wonder... is that because we made a really cool release, or just because nobody is using it? As a side note I would say it happens with any major release (See Python 3 or Ruby 2 during the last months, or even PHP4/PHP5 years ago). The upgrade to anything that's not backward compatible by design, IMHO, is more a matter of confidence than features. But sooner or later they will come :) Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo

I have two not well thought out ideas for projects.

Creating a package that integrates it into Squeak & Pharo would help with i18n and l10n for the platforms. It would be preferable to be able to load a limited number of locales rather than the whole thing into every image. We would probably benefit from having a Fuel based data repo somewhere that can access the updated and interpreted standards. > Technical Details > The CLDR is constantly edited and updated and published as a spec and set of XML files.
