as You suggested I prepared list of projects in github. I was not able to add it into pharo-project, so I created it under my account. https://github.com/AdamSadovsky/pharo-family Still it is very incomplete version. More projects can be included, more details can be added. And moreover hierarchy of concepts could be more like this: Data/modelling Data/persistency Data/persistency/database Data/conversion Adam.

i like the idea of a pharo capability map with all the related projects and framework. i have the same feeling as you. For a newcomer its is really hard get a picture of what is behind the plenty strange framework names. A structured list of the main frameworks with a short description would be helpfull.
Why not starting with a overview of the ecosystem & projects and put it on github (https://github.com/pharo-project).
I will support you.

Hello,
I just did a quick scatch of some projects, frameworks and concepts related to Pharo. I did it because I em confused of the cloud of projects around Pharo and what thay can do.
Maybe somewhere already exists similar list. Maybe in textual form. If so, please, post it to me.
Image starts in the center where Pharo logo is. Around it, there should be a core of Pharo (included in the image). Outside of this core, there are other important projects and frameworks.
Text in ovals should represent main concepts and around them there are names or logos of projects that are related to them.
Text in rectangles should represents main attributes of nearby project.
I would also like to draw bigger text or logos of projects that are very important (or enterprise ready...?).
As you can see, it lacks lots of things (mostly because I draw it very quick and did not study every projects and every book about Pharo). But If anybody have anything to contribute, I will be happy to include them to this map.
Maybe it will be also better to create this picture through some visualization based on descriptive syntax of this hierarchy map (like mind-mapping) :)
Have a nice day,
Adam.
