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

� � � �a topic

� � � �a coordinator

� � � �a group of interested participants,

� � � �a set of identified clients (because clients are the ones that often make us deliver more),

� � � �a little agenda,

� � � �a web presence on the web page

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.
