Re: Code example repository

Sure and there is also a small cookbook at:
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/666
that could be a start, we could make subpages by categories (morphic, files, 
streams, odbc, vm etc)

This is great and almost exactly what I had in mind, thanks for the link. (A 
small note, I prefer the structure the way it is, all titles on one page, 
categories, perhaps with subcategories would be even nicer). As well, the 
VisualWorks Cookbook linked there is very helpful,

Thanks Milan

Another quick way to find interesting things is the Search button on top of 
the squeak swiki pages:
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/search

or the google squeak archive:

Re: New team leader for website Team? ASAP

Hi Jason and all!

Sorry for the delay, hectic days here.

Nope, not cumbersome at all. :) The position as Team leader is to make
sure things get done! :)
It doesn't mean you need or even should do it all yourself - the job is
to make sure the Team is productive and to report back to me (being the
coordinator assigned to that Team).

The Teams we have and the team model describing how we work:

There are currently 9 members on the website team mailinglist (hmmm, I
am not there... ok added - make that 10), but say half have been active
I guess.

I expect you to just lead the team. :)

There is already a nice look in place (even though it seems barfed right
now) and SmallWiki  works (modulo some issues). So basically it is about
rounding up content and getting the website to "match" (as in not miss

I would say Cees + Dan. Guys? What happened with the switch? IIRC we
intended to switch way back (using a copy of the old site).

Let's get this thing moving now, I can take the time to mirror over the
old content if you guys can make the switch. Just give me the word. :)

A tip: Dan, if you want to have better (and free) control over the
domain (squeak.org) then I recommend signing up on zoneedit.com and
moving the domain there. I have an account there and maintain 3 domains
using it (including squeak.se) - up to 5 domains are free. Then you get
a simple web UI and can manipulate all the DNS info easily.

Re: Code example repository

Chris,
I made BabySRE, the Baby Reverse Engineering tool, to help me explore the living  Squeak objects. I find it materially reduces the period of confusion and irritation when I have to enter a new part of the Squeak image or one of the packages.

You can load BabySRE from SqueakMap. A document describing it is at
   http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~trygver/2004/babysre/BabySRE.pdf

The package also includes an extension, Object>>traceRM:..., that dumps the stack at a check point.

Enjoy
--Trygve

P.S.
I must admit that to me, some code is too cool and crafty to be explored by this tool or understood by reading the code. (I created the BabySRE tool to find out why I couldn't put up balloon help on a certain morph while it was easy to do so on its neighbour. I still don't know the answer...)

There is a thing in the Java world, which I am certain some of you have encountered, it can be found at http://www.javaalmanac.com . Its just a crude lookup mechanism, using simple keywords to identify example-code-segments.

I was wondering if any of you know of a similar service for Squeak. If there is none, I guess it would be of interest to the Squeak community to have such a thing.

So, please someone, say yes, and give me the link :-)

Thanks. I just created a mailing list on my server 
(http://www.fernando-rodriguez.com/smalltalk). So far, we have 6 members, mostly in 
Madrid.
