Also, for really thorny issues, you can build a list of what you learn in a
doc at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-workingRoadmaps . I'm doing
this for TxText...

Interesting.

So, these roadmaps.

I read some of them but I didn't get a clear picture of what are they, so here I am asking:

What are roadmaps?

Why should we use them? (what problem do they solve)

How do we use them?

I have a feeling that they are like a "roadmap to the final implementation"

That is, an explanation of the different decisions you took as part of solving a problem that led you to where you finally arrived.

Feel free to correct me.

There are notes for me.
Usually I spent time reading code to get an understanding about a part
so that at least I remember.
And I keep so log about the things I learned, found strange....
Have a look at menu for example. I want to improve them so now I
continue to
update this roadmap so that I can discuss with guille about solutions
and we can pair program and
improve the system. So they are a bit cryptic. :)

It is more a log of problems and steps that have been done.

Re: Roadmaps

Aha, ok. I understand them more now.

Thanks for the explanation.

Re: Roadmaps

I suppose we can incorporate this documentation of the process in the comments of a bug fix (Editing the case)

But I've been adding a few :) They are handy places to stash common understanding about the system (e.g. from mailing list posts or exploring the image) which are not quite ready to be proper documentation.
