Call for action: Describe your catalog entries

Torsten Bergmann
The following snippet allows you to use the HelpBrowser to go through
the descriptions of all currently listed catalog projects:


|topic sub st|
topic := HelpTopic named: 'CATALOG CONTENTS'.
st := STON fromString: (ZnEasy get: 'http://catalog.pharo.org/catalog/json') contents.
st collect: [:each |
        sub := HelpTopic
                        title: (each at: #name) contents: (each at: #description) asString.
                        topic addSubtopic: sub.
         ].
HelpBrowser openOn: topic


Many of them have a simple descriptions missing. So if you are the author
of a project please add a good description to your ConfigurationOf...

Also update your configurations for Pharo 6.0 and put it into
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/MetaRepoForPharo60

If you have an interesting project that is not yet in the catalog then
take a few minutes to build a ConfigurationOf... package and class.
Using Tools -> Versionner for that is really easy.

Also not that Versionner has a context menu allowing you to generate
the methods necessary for the catalog.

Thx
