Hi patrick Welcome. I do not use Seaside recently but I know that many many people. There is a online channel about seasiders in the Pharo discord channel. May be you should post there to get a fast answer. Did you look at the mooc? If you need some help with the setup we can have a screen sharing session. S.

I am new to Pharo and liked that it is a cleaned up and modern Smalltalk, but I think I'm done before I ever started. My biggest interest was in Seaside, yet trying to install it from instructions on the Seaside GitHub fails:

Metacello new baseline:'Seaside3'; repository: 'github://SeasideSt/Seaside:master/repository'; load

Trying to load packages from the catalog browser like Magritte fails. Some packages aren't updated for 8.0 and are only available for 7.0. Some are only available for 4.0. Trying to follow the book for creating a blog has ha me spend time trying to get something going to no avail.

I'm not an expert programmer, but I've been in IT for 25 years and can do some C, Racket, Pascal, shell languages, awk, Perl, but I am stymied at every turn with Pharo.
