My goal is to search the contents of the Description form field in SmalltalkHub. I don't know if matches the design and idea of Hubcap (really nice package BTW). I wonder if anyone (Torsten?) tried to download all package metadata first and perform off-line search?
What I did was take a look at mcx history and try to derive the latest one, and then use the Moose mczimporter to derive a list of signatures of (possibly) sent messages. The idea was to find out when packages change in a non-compatible way.
Sorry Stephan, I wasn't clear enough. I want to search over SmalltalkHub projects metadata, not the Monticello metadata. When you click "Edit infos" in SmalltalkHub you see a web form with a "Description" field. That's the data I want to gather. I know it could be done with web scraping, the question is if someone tried to do it before. Hernán
