[squeak-dev] Re: [ANN] New FunSqueak 6

Thank you Edgar :)

Before I forget it, during your stint outside of hyperspace, the squeak-ev  
list (Squeak in Germania) asked about MathMorphs and the Squeakland  
.image; do you have any Squeakland+MathMorphs status information which I  
could forward to them?

TIA.

Don't know status of Squeakland, but MorphicWrappers and MathMorphs was
ported some time ago by Milan Zimmerman and me to 3.9
I do some correction recently and know people who created both in Smalltalks
2007 (in Buenos Aires) in person.

They could email me and try to help.
I bet no big problems for load and run, but I don't know any actual working
on it.

Hi Klaus,

Edgar and I ported the original MathMorphs (and Morphicwrappers) to 3.9. the
main purpose was to convert the code to Monticello in hope it will invite
easier maintenance. The main part of MathMorphs code loads and is quite
complete, although more could always be done.

If someone is interested in using it, i would not mind maintaining it,
although the next 3 months my time will be tight. In fairness, before people
start using it, I would like to clarify the license. During the original port  
to SqueakSource and follow up emails I attempted to make 2 points clear:
        - That the original work is from authors at the University of Buenos Aires
and others, we merely ported it and converted to Monticello.
        - I was trying (unsuccesfully) to find out/ask what the original licensing
was. As a result, no license is specified. If any of the original authors
read this, please let us know...

The main links are summarized here:

Hope this helps as a start,

Milan

Thanks for the kind offer but, two problems: language barrier and  
incompatible paradigma (they are users who translate SqueakLand .image for  
use in their class room for the children).

Yeah I feared that (from Google's results list); the next thing would be:  
would MathMorphs in the SqueakLand .image be maintained, etc.

Thanks again.

Hey Milan,

Nobody in squeak-ev (except perhaps some of their busy developers :) knew  
nothing about those morphs until Edgar put the fun into his fun .image so,  
no problem with waiting a bit more until things fall in place :)

Waahhh, not this +"*%&/ license word again ;-)

Yes please, and thank you very much Milan for the good news.

Sure, that is. Thanks again.
