Hi Stef, Is kind of strange, but I didn't use Polymath at all for my prototypes on medicine data visualization[1] Panama Papers[2] or Twitter Data Selfies[3] or the book on Data Driven Journalism[4]. I just use Roassal, UDBC with Sqlite, NeoJSON and STON. So it may sound strange, but I think that Pharo is already a pretty good contestant on the area of Data Driven Storytelling, if we provide a more integrated "end user" experience (that's what I'm trying to do with Grafoscopio). Things like a better support for Markup languages with syntax highlighting and orthographic corrector (via GT-Documenter?), better GUI for querying data in SQL, are a felt needs and also integration with R has been asked. [1] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/sdv-infomed [2] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/panama-papers-1 [3] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/ds-twitter-mockup [4] http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/mapeda/ That being said, I think that if we have something like Polymath integration and Math rendering inside Pharo, something like a Mathematica/Jupyter/TeXmacs notebook can be just around the corner, with a pretty superior DOM (live objects all the way down) and environment. I think that we could have a killer app for a growing niche! The main issue now is to provide researchers and data driven storytellers with a mature enough default experience to make them to bet on that Pharo powered vision of the future.

Hi offray
What I would like to know is what are the kind of mathematical support you need for your data analyses and that is not support by polymath.
I'm "working" (well sweet dream) on future book on collective intelligence, basic AI stuff and I think that roassal is cool but you need to have also filtering and empowering the data.
So what did you miss? I want powerful data journalists (they are important for our world).

that is kind of what I am looking for. Would you mind if I contacted you directly? I am in the process of formulizing a master thesis and would love to bring Pharo into the mix.
No problem. Contact me. This weekend is a little bit busy with some deadlines I need to reach, but next week is fine.
Is you phd thesis public? It is at [1], with a public repository of the research artifacts since 2011 (before open research was in fashion :-P), but it is in Spanish. Sorry. I didn't have the time to clarify my mind about this research and also improve my English. But I would be glad to discuss it in English with you or anyone interested. You're very welcomed.
