Present: Craig Latta,
Chris Muller, Colin Putney, Levente Uzonyi
- There are plans to
replace squeak.org with a new site based on Colin's Altitude
web-framework. The SFC has suggested including a Flattr [1]
contribution on member-project web-sites, which will be considered
for the new site.
- A continuation of last
Saturday's Squeak hangout discussion occurred where Tim Rowledge
presented a discussion about transparent access to native OS
processes from within the image.
- Meanwhile, Craig is
planning his next release of Spoon, which is becoming ready for
mainstream consumption. This project will be very exciting for
Squeak as it promises to help address many long-time concerns of
the community such as modularity, distribution and scale.
- 4.4 is planned for
release this month while energy is building for 4.5. Colin wants
full Environments in 4.5, as well as adoption of his FileSystem
framework. Chris Muller wants Themes so the look of the system
can be more easily customized and also inclusion (or easy
loadability) of the latest Refactoring Engine. We also want to
finally begin purging long-deprecated code.
- While there is a lot of
work to be done, a general feeling of satisfaction with Squeak's
status, capability and future potential was expressed.
