Hi all,
I've played with squeak some time ago, and now I'll start doing the same with pharo.
Welcome
There are some personal projects I may or may not use pharo for - we'll just see.
Some words about ConfigurationBrowser from a new user perspective:
- The ConfigurationBrowser is the first thing that you are guided to after opening an image, and there all you see is a list of:words like: - Tuio - Glorp - Foo - STON ... (Finding out which of these can not be found there is left as an exercise for the reader ;-)
Yes! We will improve because I want a description of the configuration to be able to define better tools and also generate html documentation.
It would be great to be presented with some info on what these packages actually do. In a 1.4 image I tried to find the ConfigurationOf... Classes, to go to the download webpages, but even there information was scarce.
Yes people do not like to write documents and after they complain :).
- the naming change of the tabs is good, but I propose a third tab: 'Work needed' for Configurations where it is known that some work is needed. This would save new users from loading configurations which are known to be broken, and send an even stronger message to the maintainers.
Yes now we are working on publishing **automatically** only working configurations.
Kind regards,
Ingo
