From Etoys Reference Manual to refactoring Squeak

mokurai
In the process of writing chunks of the Etoys Reference Manual

http://booki.flossmanuals.net/etoys-reference-manual/_edit/

I have found a large number of infelicities, ranging from typos in Class
comments to architectural issues. I have been directed here to talk about
what is needed, and ask who might be working on bringing the latest Etoys
into the standard Squeak distribution. I intend to go through Etoys
systematically when the Reference Manual is completed and submit
changesets. Then I intend to work on an Etoys By Example book explaining
how the projects that come with Etoys can be replicated and improved.

Bravo Edward!

Running the latest Etoys on the latest Squeak is something we've
wanted to do for a long time. I don't know that there's anyone
actively working on it now, but we'd certainly welcome your efforts.

This is the right place to bring up issues that you find while working
on the manual. I'd guess that some of your changes would apply to
Squeak and others to Etoys, but there are Etoys developers on this
list, so they'll undoubtedly find their way to the right place. Feel
free to ask questions or post changesets here or submit Monticello
versions to the Inbox repository.

Thanks Edward, for tackling this.
