Where is the best place to ask about Glorp by the way?
I wonder the same. The official discussion group is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/glorp-group But it is not very active.
So IMHO, for Pharo use this is the best place, and for VisualWorks its own mailing list.
I am a Glorp user, but not on Pharo, and I am very much interested in problems people might find or - more interestingly - solve with Glorp.
I forgot about you! even when I follow your blog. You're the only person/project I know uses Glorp in VA.
From my experience with using Glorp on VA Smalltalk, it is sometimes very hard to tell if you have a general Glorp problem or some porting error in front of you.
Test coverage is pretty good, but I've been bitten by what you mention. That's how I realized the port I'm using is outdated.
So I would say the primary group for Glorp questions should be the Glorp google group (see your link above). Another argument: if we followed your advice for every library/tool/framework, wouldn't this pollute the Pharo Mailing list?
I know, but I really don't know who reads Glorp mailing list, and particularly *how often*. Francois asked about GLORP here and got a bunch of responses in a couple of hours, had he asked the same in Glorp's mailing list and probably would have got a "please ask in the Pharo mailing list about its port" response. And this is no critic to Alan nor anybody there, it's just a matter of how active a mailing list is and how "foreign" Pharo's version is, they simply don't know what Pharo has. Regards! Esteban A.
