For the information we are working on touch and OSWindow improvements. Alain is imporving Bloc the future graphic layer of Pharo, people from bern are working on new widgets. We are working on cleaning widgets. Now we also accept help.
Stef Sure I know. The constituting parts does not make the whole however. I mean a larger plan could help structuring the parts and give a focus. Hilaire we have a plan a new graphics core with new widgets and event touch support and several windows.
So I do not see why you say that we are not focused. Now you do not create a graphics core in 2 days. And if more people would help then we would go faster :) Alex is experimenting to port Roassal on Bloc and he is finding bugs that Alain is fixing.
When I proposed topics to students this is also with this vision in mind.

I didn't write Pharo is unfocused, I just think broader project like kivy can give structuring focus.
Yes Now our project is: We also want Pharo to be a modern prototyping UI platform and this is why we did athens, cairo, now gesture, bloc, Morphic cleaning, brick,....
When reading Pharo vision document, I see great parts/foci, but I am not sure about the whole vision. I agree it is easy to raise external opinion than working on that internally, but however it does not dismiss the opinion.
