Use gmane.  Point your news reader (Thunderbird's okay) to the
news.gmane.org server, and subscribe to the
gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.gnu.general newsgroup.

Yes.  Be prepared to report a lot of bugs, which I (or hopefully someone
else too) will be happy to fix.

Paolo,

thanks! Nice.
I found some strange behaviour (not in the class with this name) in Blox
- could I report it here? What if I could solve it? Could I post a
solution here, or on the bugs list?

I'm not a C programmer, however I may be able to make changes in
smalltalk code.

thanks Robert

Here or in the issue tracker of http://smalltalk.gnu.org/ (as you prefer).

Gmane is a NNTP interface, you cannot use it from Yahoo! Mail or Gmail.
  You can use it from Thunderbird.

Anyone who's been sending e-mail to the list, can you test replying to
this message?...

To not make this a pure test message, I am completely new to gst. I
played around with squeak though. What are the main differences?
Somewhere I read that there's a Browser like in Squeak, is this true? I
couldn't find anything. I compiled gst through gentoo portage.

Hello Felix!

I worked and also played with several smalltalk. I could say that gst is
NOT like squeak or the others.

If anyone saw some similarities, that simply meant - I think - that he
saw the blox based class hierarchy browser of gst. Every class browser
in ST language implementation looks similar, that's all.

But meanwhile squek is a smalltalk with many browsers, gst is script
based by philosophy. However the blox browsers are at a really nice
shape and still developing.

I also use gentoo Linux, but I erased the version from portage:

emerge -C gnu-smalltalk

and downloaded the 3.0b sources from the gnu-smalltalk site, compiled
and installed. Start it after installing with:

gst-blox

It also supports the -I parameter for opening a saved image.
Be preapared - it is in development, but very-very promising - I do just
the same like you - experimenting with the GUI browsers.

best regards
Robert
