Greetings Florin, Goran, Cees, Steven, Brian, David, and Craig, Ned, Colin!
... and anyone else who is interested but hasn't yet said so.
Sorry, but I spent most of today travelling and getting caught up on diddly stuff. My plan for tomorrow is to start a page on the Swiki, but I can't get to it right now. I want to assemble 1-page summaries of relevant work to consider as we define the project, along the following lines,
What problem is being addressed
How it solves the problem
What is cool about it
What is not
Commentary
I'd like various of us to write these summaries, or get someone else to write some, or copy them from somewhere in the next few days. I'm assuming someone knowledgeable will write the first four sections, and then we can all add further commentary in the last section.
I have in mind covering (to build on the earlier list)...
Spoon's Naiads
Andreas's Islands
Envy
E
Environments
Envy
Packages on SqueakMap
Packages on Monticello
Parcels in VW
Namespaces (various models and solutions thereof)
ClassBoxes and other stuff from Berne in this regard
... and anything else someone thinks would be useful (for instance I will include Florin's opening statement).
So I'll try to get this in shape tomorrow so that we can start building on it while people are still signing up.
I will take a shot at stating my slant on all of this for people to consider while we read over the background material, and then it will be time to start the serious discussion which, at the top level, will amount to writing a new entry in our list.
Meanwhile, if you haven't already, subscribe to
modules-subscribe at discuss.squeakfoundation.org
where the serious discussion will take place after we're done with the public rally.
