Let me just point out a small fact that we all IMHO should be aware of:
The open Squeak community (as differentiated from closed projects like Croquet) doesn't have access to Tweak. I have personally just recently *seen* it for the first time. I have no idea about the goals or plans for Tweak. I have no idea how the involved persons joined the project and I have no idea about release plans or licenses or anything else regarding Tweak.
Do not frustrate we will be enlighted once and may be become estatics, who knows? Sometimes I wish I would be less idiot and be more egoist and use my time for my stuff.
I am guessing it will be released to us soon, and I am guessing it will be under a reasonable license, and I am guessing it is meant to become a Morphic replacement and I am guessing that the project will eventually be developed in an open fashion too. And these guesses are also my hopes.
Now, perhaps people think I am too harsh and you get annoyed with me for saying all this. I am not saying that Tweak *must* be open - it can be a closed project and I have absolutely no right to criticize it for that. Heck, I assume there are tons of closed projects out there using Squeak as a base platform!
But my focus is the open Squeak. The stuff we all share. And my focus is the plans laid out for improving and developing open Squeak - in a community fashion. In the open source fashion.
I *love* all those closed projects using Squeak because that is GOOD for Squeak! :)
But I *don't* give those projects a single thought when it comes to the plans for the open Squeak.
So... if anyone want me as a Guide to consider how Tweak should be handled in Squeak - then I am sorry, I don't have an opinion and I can't plan for it, in that respect Tweak doesn't exist yet.
Agreed but if tweaker are going faster that way, let us wait and see. A better morphic sounds like a dream....
And again - please don't get upset at me! :) The Tweak team is fully aware of this and my personal guess is that they *like* to work on it "on their own" and thus are waiting as long as they possibly can until they open it up to the rest of us. Again, that is *their* choice.
