Brainstorming on the roadmap for first Pharo Consortium Engineer :)

Stéphane Ducasse
Hi guys

we have a roadmap for Esteban and we would like to share it with you. We have extra items that we would like to see fixed and we are welcoming your
feedback/suggestions. Note this is typically the way we want to work with the consortium in the future:
        Build an initial roadmap and refine it based on the input of the community.

- A website for the consortium registration (esteban is expert on that).
        - This is important for INRIA and for the visibility of the consortium. We should get new members :)
        - Integration with SmalltalkHub

- Working on fixing bugs!
        - Debugger fixes
        - Continuous bug fixing.

- Improving release process: faster, more people involved, simpler.
        - Working on metacello repositories for each distributions (everything is there but missing last bits)
        - Metacello tools
        - Automatic release validations
        - Automatic validation of fixes

Now the free items with probably igor involvement
        - Multiwindowing support
        - Fully working multithreaded FFI with ***Documentation***
        - Filesystem fix and integration
        - Integration of OPAL
        - RPackage integration

Igor related
        - Ephemerons
        - Object format
        - VM branding
        - Use of new canvas
        - Event cleaning

So we are waiting for your suggestions.
       

Stef

Multiwindowing support
Meaning native windows?

Now, that's not the same ;)
I guess a first step is to be able to have multiple native windows, even if each of them are rendered with morphic.
But then you can use the Windows-95-like-theme and you have a "similar" desktop app for a windows user ;)

At least having multiple ones but not native because with MS, Apple, linux look and feel we will all die before we get something working :)

Ah, I didn't realize the nuance! Multiple windows are what I've wanted all along, and I've been calling them "native" (which could be useful, but not nearly as important to me).

I like to add environments so we can have multiple versions in the same image and get rid of default global state. I think you have that already on your mind even with separate object memories.

Yes this is a long overdue. We will start another pass on it with nick in a week. So we will see: we want to have all the compilation chain to work in an environment.
