Hi!

I will not start a project to create an UML modelling tool in Squeak but'd 
probably join it.  I created such an UML class diagram documentation tool 
in VisualWorks some times ago (see www.object-insight.com) and will 
probably work on something similar in a few months, although then in Java 
and as a commercial product.

Still, I'm very interested in this topic and especially when we're talking 
not only about just a "drawing tool" but something that can be used to 
support the whole software development process - let's say XP.

Most existing tools (including Together/J) lack IMHO an easy to use UI and 
try to impress with unneeded features instead.  None of these tools support 
real collaboration.  They all focus on code and therefore downgrade UML to 
a graphical programming logic but they don't help the user to abstract 
concept.  IMHO the focus should be on communication but on specification.

Squeak might be a nice testbed for these and other ideas.

AFAIK, nobody is working on this or on similar projects yet.
