I'd like to suggest you teach people Smalltalk natively, so they
don't get distracted by the false view of a filetree of classes.
One huge differentiator of Smalltalk, from any other language out
there,�� is the live object environment. You should use that
environment to teach from or the nuance will be lost and they may
well give up. Consider, is there any Java IDE that allows any
expression anywhere to be evaluated and inspected with a mouse
click or shortcut? So host your mcz on github but provide an
install doc to have them install Pharo and load your code, for the
lessons. They will look at Smalltalk code naturally in Pharo
browsers and be exposed to an IDE they have never before
experienced, as well. In the process you can webinar your
navigations that they can follow along. Nebraska around? Those who
consider it worthy will stay. Keep doing what you are doing!

Thank you for the answers! Actually my question has a rather silly reason: I find it difficult to navigate and peek at code in the current format. I would like to show ST code to other people through GitHub ��� it is pretty common for me to discuss implementations of katas, for example, from multiple platforms only looking at the GitHub project ���, but the format get in the way. People usually give up of looking it because it is hard to navigate through the directory tree and understand all the separate pieces as a whole, and so I must explain my solution verbally and people get suspicious of ST and unwilling to try the environment for the first time. :(
I think I am going to commit a fileout of the project, maybe people will find easier to peek at. Do you have other suggestion?
Thanks!Vitor

Do you have something specific in your mind ?
What are your needs and desires for an alternate Filetree format ? What you want to see changed in Filetreee ?

Hello,
I was wondering: is there another format available for Filetree?
