Hi,

I've NEVER been contacted by anyone about it Maybe I can bring some light into the issue here: After Joseph announced Toothpick in 2006 I tried the first Squeak version which was available from his project website [1]. This version was packaged as change sets and provided as a simple ZIP (and it looks like the site still contains this changeset filout from Squeak3.8 in 2005). Maybe Joseph used his famous Rosetta project to create it. Since I know Joseph personally from 1st CampST and our Smallscript work I contacted him via mail to get permission to convert the Squeak code into Monticello format and make it also available on Squeaksource [2] and Squeakmap [3]. This would allow people to easily download and use his code using the newer packaging systems like SqueakMap package loading and monticello versioning. I also created a wiki page [4]. I was glad he gave me the permission (via mail) to do so - so I just converted the code to Monticello format and registered the projects on SqMap and SqSource so it can be easily accessed by the Squeak community directly from within the squeak image. (That's like importing code into Store to make an old style changeset more accessible to VisualWorks users). The code is still under Josephs BSD license and he is clearly stated as original author [3]. After that I announced it on squeak-dev mailinglist [5] clearly saying that it's from Joseph and is now available as Monticello package for future contributions and since it is available for various Smalltalks any further contribution should not be limited to Squeak. (Joseph got a CC of this announcement). So there is no other port beside the one Joseph provided on the toothpick side [1] - but now also available in Monticello format. Meanwhile nobody ever contributed so far - so the code is still the same as provided by him. The SqueakMap repository is open to public so Joseph as well as others are able to move the the project forward. But make sure to contact Joseph directly since he may not read any of the squeak mailing lists. This would also make sure that not only the Squeak side of Toothpick evolve but Joseph is also able to integrate fixes and enhancements into the general framework.

Thanks for the explanation.
This is cool to get all the code in SqueakSource. So may be somebody should fix the bug mentioned.
