[squeak-dev] JSqueak, the erstwhile Potato, is out!

You can find it here:

        http://research.sun.com/projects/JSqueak/

It's in exactly the state I left it in 2006, so it still needs color
and warpBlt support to be finished, and files/sockets, as desired.
That said it's nicely compact, and it performs usably.

The license is totally open MIT.  There's a mail list to sign up for
potato-specific items (oops I mean JSqueak;-), though some of that
discussion (and possibly all) might be relevant and better located
here.  If so, use [JSqueak] in the subject so people can filter.

Have fun!

please now replace them with these and discard the old ones.  Thanks

Hi Dan,

This is great, just great. It is a great contribution to keep Smalltalk
alive - to make it more popular & to revive it.

What I would suggest - hope that someone takes it:

Make that title window "Squeak - a free Smalltalk".
Make a link or print how to use it - we know Smalltalk & Squeak but
newcomers?
Need to be posted to c.l.s. & also to the ruby ng.
What about to send a message about it to German CT magazine?

Frank

Could be.

My hope in releasing it is that some small cadre of folks with an interest would finish such things and make it not just usable but actually useful.  They will probably start making noises here in the next little while.

Thanks for your enthusiasm, Frank.

A few more things need to be finished up before it is ready for publicity.  Done right, it could be very neat, but methinks it it would be a mistake to promote it beyond this small circle of friends right now.

Hi dan

tx a lot. It is nice to see that happening after all :)
I proposed to michael to share a svn so that we can collect the  
changes. Now should we use SUN infrastructure or not?
I could set up a project in the INRIA forge and let you and michael  
admin it.

There is always google code, which is reasonably fast (inluding the wiki)..

... or even better: open.collab.net. We used the Collabnet services  
intensively during our last project and they provide really good  
tooling for hosting and managing a project like JSqueak.

Besides a reliable SVN repository open.collab.net provides tools for  
user stories, a bug tracking system, mailing lists, RSS'able  
announcements and more.

Excellent?
Can you do something? Dan is it ok?
