Optimization of PharoCore File Downloads

Lukas Renggli
When I need a new Pharo image I typically go to the files listing at

    https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299

where I find all the core images for Pharo 1.0 and 1.1.

The problem is that it is really time consuming to find the right
section on this large page :-)

- Would it be possible to reorder the sections "Pharo-Core 1.0" and
"Pharo-Core 1.1" to appear on top?

- Or, put an index of all sections on top of that page?

- Or, use some unambiguous spelling for the section titles (like
"[PharoCore1.0]" and "[PharoCore1.1]") so that the sections can be
quickly found using Ctrl+F without getting matches in the filenames?

Just a few ideas to make this a bit easier.

Lukas

I have the same problem...

What would be nice is to have a "symbolic" link to the most recent version. For Pharo 1.0 this is easy because it does not change anymore. For 1.1 the link would need to update whenever there is a new version. Like this we could link these images from the website directly and people wouldn't have to go to gforce.

Is this possible?

I **know**

The people of the forge want to interview us to improve (or rewrite from scratch)

I can try
BTW I guess that you can try too since you are a member.
Can you tell me if you succeed to log in?

Indeed, that works. I wasn't aware of that.

It doesn't seem to be possible to reorder the categories (they just
appear in random order), but I renamed them as suggested. Searching
for "[Ph" should bring you to the interesting parts. That already
improves the situation.

Excellent!
Yes this system so bad :)
They know it I do not even have to tell them they see it in my eyes.
