Future Plans of GNU Smalltalk

Giuseppe
Hi again,

I would like to hear the future plan of Gnu Smalltalk.

Is in mind...
- The use of Native Widgets.
- MultiThreading.
- Generate exe files.
- and so on..

I would like to hear, the roadmap in near time (corto plazo en español),
finishing this year, and next year.

Cheers.

Neither of these :-)

Because I know only the short term of my personal life, I aim to get out
in 2008 (possibly September) the 3.1 version with more Seaside (e.g.
Scriptaculous and Magritte) and with finished Cairo/LibSDL/OpenGL bindings.

For 3.2 it's probably time to work on the browser, possibly using
OmniBrowser.  But I don't know yet what to do for that, nor do I know
the timeframe.  I don't work fulltime on GNU Smalltalk, though the
overall time I use in a week is probably around 12 hours (10 commutes
plus something here and there).

Native widgets require extensive testing which I cannot afford.
Multithreading is important but is very complex.  Generating executable
files could be done relatively easily by embedding the image in a GNU
Smalltalk executable and relinking; it would definitely be portable to
Linux and MacOS (using "ld -r"), I guess the same would work with MSys.

Yes, I gave you my plans. :-)  But of course this is a free software
project, so contributions from other people are always welcome!
