Hi,
New 39a7026 is up (Harvesting bone by Stef). Beta is coming closer...
I'm still a Smalltalk/Squeak newbie, but I want to contribute to the development of Squeak images (mostly fixing the bugs I find while playing with these images).
I'd like to become one of the developers of squeak images. Where can I apply? :-)
So far, I've noticed a bunch of small things (mostly regarding the GUI) that worked in the 3.8 images but seems to be broken in the current alphas:
- borders on rollover-able morphs are no more centered;
- the button morph gets a bit darker everytime I click on it and release the mouse button outside of it;
- #romanString in SmallInteger is no more implemented. So selecting roman numerals in the watch object morph raises an error.
As with every other opensource project I believe that everything should be kept as a possible choice both for user and developers. So, for instance, I believe Morphic should be kept and improved even if there's Tweak in development. The same applies to Balloon3D (even if there is Croquet).
Also, I would like to see an officially mantained bare bones image from which developers could easily build their projects upon for a cleaner and lighter deployment of applications built with Squeak.
What do you people think about this?
Ciao,
