Hi,
What efforts are being made to put a polished end-user experience on
top of Installer scripts and Mantis bug-report trawling? Or are these
tasks not considered something that an end-user would need to
perform...? (Or do we need to get into a semantic argument over what
is an end-user [and what is polished] :) )
What are the chances that SqueakMap Package Loader, with its well-
understood and efficient interface, could be extended for use as a
front-end to Sake/Packages*? There is a common complaint that the
Package Universe Browser is not polished enough, but I think SqueakMap
Package Loader is generally accepted as nice. This could be a great
option for end users wanting to install packages, yes? As it has been
for years...
Please forgive me if I am naively enflaming a Monticello / SqueakMap /
Sake / ChangeSet war.
Thanks,
TimJ
