Then I have a question... and I'm not being sarcastic here! As Pharo users, are we allowed to suggest ideas from other environments, even other languages or projects? If I think we should implement something similar to VisualWork's MemoryPolicy in Pharo, where should I discuss that? If I see package XYZ in Python that I think would be worth porting to Pharo, where should I discuss that? If there are features in the Atom editor that are worth considering & cool for Pharo, where should I discuss that? If I have ideas/places/means to promote Pharo or give it exposure, where should I discuss that? If VisualAge has a nice config map to interface MQSeries and I'd like to know if a port to Pharo would interest anyone, where should I discuss that? If I want to know if there's any interest to develop a native DB2 database driver, should I discuss it here ? From what I've read, the answer is NO. Do you really think that if I post "hey guys, we should really port that to Pharo" on comp.databases.ibm-db2, it will draw any attention from Pharoers ? This is getting ridiculous! I mean, are we limited to only discuss about what's in the Pharo image? Yeah, the Collection hierarchy is cool but are we gonna talk about that for the next 5 years? As a Pharo USER, I am not limited to what's in the image : Pharo interfaces with lots of things on the outside. If we can't discuss about what's outside of the image and that could improve Pharo (library-wise), tell me where I can do so! If I understand correctly, we can't talk about anything that is not 100% Pharo on pharo-dev, pharo-users and lse-pharo4pharo, is that it ?!?!?!? What's left for the "outside world" ? P.S. I'm not saying that this mailing list should be a catch-all place where we can discuss about baseball, fishing, cars, music, chess, C# and politics. There has to be a way to sometimes discuss about stuff that is "outside" of Pharo but that could help us improve it!

Then let it phrase it like this: this list is not to talk about the whole Smalltalk universe but this particular implementation.
