Well technically the python part works fine, BUT I also always wanted it to be friendly to begineers . So nope , its same project. And you are correct its still focused in coding 3d graphics but I came to realisation that if I want some people to use it, obviously i dont expect the massive majority to give up the comforts of python but for those that are curious I have to provide an enviroment thats is even easier to code in than python is currently for Blender.
My goal is to provide a development enviroment for Blender addons that is simple, and easy to use and learn.
So providing a minimal pharo image that is self documented has always being a dream for Ephestos.
By the way whats the news on the matter of modular pharo image ? Is there any work done to provide a minimal pharo image ?
Hi, work is in progress: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/6.0-SysConf/ The first image with GUI that is usable from the user point of view is ConfigurationOfUI. Give us few weeks to finish it... -- Pavel
I would hate to replicate what is already done.

So I was reading the complains from Sven and got Inspiration from Torsten Pharo image and CUIs and made me wonder what if we had an image which has the least amount of libraries and every library inside it is full commented in class, package and method and even has tutorial using inside help tool.
So I think I will give this project a try. I know there is a plan to make pharo image more modular, but modularity does not equal minimalism , simplicity and ease of use.
I think I will follow the CUIs example and do the development via Github.
But I am open to ideas and suggestions.
My intention is to remove the excess fat, to make Pharo prettier (improve theme support and make available several themes ) and to have everything commented and self documented.
Obviously this will be a long term project and in no way a walk in the park but I was looking for a nice project to name "Ephestos" :D seem as good as any
Did this project not pane out?...

Seems you're quite attached to that name :) but is there a minor chance of confusion?
