Hi Offray!
On the data input front, the main aspect in the workshops is "where the data comes from?". In the examples of the book, most of it comes from the Pharo/Moose image itself. Where providing external data sources (Tweets, medicine info, public spending) and we're creating custom objects to hold them, but some kind of "generic" spreadsheet for populating/viewing/editing data sources would be the best addition here.
Yes, you are right. I have tried to change this. However, I do not always have the data in hand. Help is welcome on this...
On the data output front, the HTML exporter generates a great impression. I think that improving it and including the support for some small "web applets" with sliders/menus/inbox would be the next step.
This is an interesting point. However, the web world is tough. Sure, we could improve the exporter. But competing against d3 and all its friends is difficult. For example, this morning Iâve heard about http://dimplejs.org . Frankly, it is much simpler to use it than embed a Roassal-generated visualization in an html page. Having Pharo play a bigger role on the web yes. But the Roassal effort cannot drag it all. Again, suggestion and help are more than welcome... Alexandre

Dear community,
As you may have seen, Roassal has entered a stabilization phase. The book AgileVisualization.com will soon be released. After its release, Roassal will go over a new development phase. In order to prepare it, I am asking this question:
What are the 3 aspects you would like to see improved in Roassal?
You can answer publicly or by sending private messages.
Kind regards, Alexandre
