WhatsUp from: 2015-04-20 until: 2015-04-30

Hi! We're sending this automatic email twice a month, to give the community an opportunity to easily know what's happening and to coordinate efforts.  Just answer informally, and feel free to spawn discussions thereafter!

### Here's what I've been up to since the last WhatsUp:

- $HEROIC_ACHIEVEMENTS_OR_DISMAL_FAILURES_OR_SIMPLE_BORING_NECESSARY_TASKS

### What's next, until 2015-04-30 (*):

- $NEXT_STEPS_TOWARDS_WORLD_DOMINATION

(*) we'll be expecting results by then ;)

More MongoTalk usage (and discovery that we have zero support for replicasets - anyone prove me wrong here...)

Significant Mapless + MongoMapless usage and being happy with it.

Got Roassal2 to export SVG+Javascript interactions as a Seaside component (this one asked made me sweat) + multibars histogram (multiple datasets at one).

Got a WATableReport subclass with bootstrap and mapless going nicely with sorting/pagination etc.

Looked into WAEmailMessage and friends and got the to work outside of the seaside app to send bunch of mails with proper external ConfigurationFile addresses and with MustacheTemplates (Norbert, thanks a lot for Mustache!!).

Some more CommandLineHandler commands. This CLI thing is nice. I want more.

Wrote doc in Pillar for the above.

Tested Pharo 4 Image + VM on CentOS 6.x - works!

Next:

Some SDL2 expermiments
Trying to build my app on Pharo4
Hopefully some Woden.

Phil

Hi phil

just that you know what we are doing

     - Mathieu Lacatou an intern from Thales should be visiting the team
for 10 days to pair program with esteban
     about the OSWindow multi-windowing support

     - JB and Merwan are extending the OSWindow touch support, like
generating scroll events

     - JB is working on Woden and adding some shadders for 3D demoes.

     - Christopher Coat (who is with us for a month) should see how it
interacts with Blob (OSC, TIO) and how we can
     mix both. Probably by having multiple driver one for sdl and one
for blob.

     - Igor should start to revisit OSWindow logic (events....).

Cool :)
I do not know
For now he should have a look at Woden, JB  planned to make a CI.
But he was blocked because of a bug in the old version of Metacello that
we use.
So as soon as Metacello is updated, JB can continue his build.

I've been:

- Rewriting/updating the Pharo driver for the Riak NoSQL database, at https://github.com/SmalltalkZen/phriak. (It needs a tiny bit more documentation before making a full-on mailing list announcement, though).

Cool!

- Helping out with updating the UPBE book to catch it up with the Pharo 4.0 release.

From what I know:
the configruation of OSWindow in the repo is not loaded when there is a configuration in the image.
Kind of

Could JB describe the problem with Metacello? Perhaps there is a workaround.
