As I said:

 1. create a temporary package "MyTempPackage", create a simple class "MyTempLib" as subclass of WAFileMetadataLibrary

 2. Extract the FontAwesome download into a directory and
    then evaluate

      MyTempLib recursivelyAddAllFilesIn: 'c:\pathToFontAwesome\'
 
 3. now you have all the resources generated as methods in this temporary class. Now copy or move these methods over to the appropriate:
  
    Put it into
      - "FAWDevelopmentLibrary" when the resource is DEVELOPMENT related (for instance #cssfontawesomeCss with #cssfontawesomeCssContent
      - "FAWDeploymentLibrary" when the resource is DEPLOYMENT related (minified versions like #cssfontawesomeminCss with #cssfontawesomeminCssContent       
   
   If a resource method is necessary for DEVELOPMENT and DEPLOYMENT move/copy it to the common superclass FAWFileLibrary

   This is because for easy debugging/development one would choose the FAWDevelopmentLibrary and for later deployment 
   one would used the FAWDeploymentLibrary which provides the minimized versions.

When are finished moving the methods over and it was already an existing method the Pharo diff tool in Monticello could show you if they
really changed for the new FontAwesome version or stay with the same contents. Mostly all the files (also the fonts) change for an updated 
FontAwesome version, havent checked for the latest one.

 4. Provide implementation and test methods:

    a) In package "FontAwesome-Core" add the necessary extension methods to class "WATagBrush" for the new provided FontAwesome CSS classes
       Follow the naming convention and let the method name start with "fontAwesome..." 

    b) Dont forget to add a testcase for each of the new extension methods
       This can be done in package "FontAwesome-Tests-Core-Canvas" in Sunit class "FAWCanvasBrushTest"

 5. Check if the example already includes the new stuff, for instance icons will be added automagicaly when following the 
    naming convention. See FAWExamplesHome>>renderIconsOn: method how this is implemented.

    You can also add other examples to the class FAWExamplesHome. Double check that it is working on http://localhost:8080/fontawesome

 6. When stable and all tests pass I usually update the ConfiguratonOfFontAwesome and release a new version (also in Catalog)

Thats it. Hope it helps reproducing my steps. 

Thanks
T.
