Dear Pharoers
I think that we are doing a great work: when I look at the work on the theme, better widgets, network.....Excellent! and thanks. Now we were discussing with Doru about how we as community could coordinate and structure ourselves better to create more energy.
Analysis of the current situation: Right now we have individuals doing great projects, sometimes we have a group of people but this is often not visible. Now often happens a bit in ad-hoc way. Because someone ask something, then somebody replies and we integrate the replies.
What I would like to see emerging are First Class Tasks with a name
DBXTalk
a topic
Smalltalk relational database suite of tools
a coordinator
Mariano Martinez Peck
a group of interested participants,
- Esteban Lorenzano - Diogenes Moreira - Guillermo Polito - Gisela Decuzzi - Santiago Bragagnolo
a set of identified clients (because clients are the ones that often make us deliver more),
Real applications needing relational databases.
a little agenda,
- Continue the development - PBE2 chapter - new website
a web presence on the web page
http://www.squeakdbx.org/ We need a new domain for dbxtalk and update lot of documentation. Consider it part of the agenda :)
If we look at what we have right now that are potential Tasks and really important clients
- The Z connection: Network/Socket Coordinator (proposed): Sven Socket: Noury Luc Jannik Olivier Clients: Seasiders, Clouders,
- Morphic 2: UI: Alain Gary Igor Coordinator (proposed): ? Presenty framework VoidNullPointer UIBuilder Athens Clients: Moose, Pharo IDE
- Pharo IDE: Coordinator (proposed): Doru work around TWM Laurent Nautilus: Benjamin Laurent Glamourous: Doru Damien
- OPAL: Compiler tool chain Coordinator (proposed): Marcus? Jb, Jorge, Marcus, Helvetia lukas Niko Schwarz?
- Package: Stef, Cyrille Coordinator (proposed): Stephane Client: Nautilus, Doru Moose,
- Metacello Dale Mariano Coordinator (proposed): Dale? Client: Stef with the idea of distribution, Torsten don't you want to help here?
- Coral: Coordinator (proposed): Damien? Damien, Luc, Adrien, Stef, Client: Damien, Olivier?
So what would be good is to have the identification on the web site of these groups. More discussions and concentration with a set of little tasks to be performed We could tag the mails with [Task-UI], [Task-OPAL], have a little visible agenda.
What do you think? I think that it is important.
