### Here's what I've been up to since the last WhatsUp:
PharoLauncher (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher/)
- glamour-based GUI
- Jenkins + files.pharo.org automatic fetch of images
- save downloaded zip files for later reuse (with Erwan Douaille)
- many class and method comments
- refactorings
- you can start trying it now
Cool. You mention in its design specification that it will be cross
platform. Is that the case as this stage? I'm not sure if I follow
Jenkins logs properly but there seems only a Linux job running.
btw, Are there any plans for PharoLauncher to help report VM bugs?
Eliot once mentioned on [vm-dev] that the best VM bug reports provide a
launch script that reproduces the VM crash. The PharoLauncher could
monitor VMs that don't close cleanly, and then lead the user through
generating such a script. Then at the click of a button, the script, VM
and image can be packaged up for submitting to a bug tracker. Much
further down the line, PharoLauncher might even enable a VM flag to log
all UI events from which a crash-script could be generated.

Smalltalkhub
- check my previous fixes (with Nicolas Petton)
- add features and fix many issues
(http://code.google.com/p/smalltalk-hub/issues/list)
Traits
- mentoring Sebastian Tleyle for improving both trait implementation
and browsing support
Command line interface
- implement the "--save" option in both Pharo 2.0 and Pharo 3.0 that
should be used for all "eval" scripts on the command line instead of
using "Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: true"
### What's next, until 2013-06-16 (*):
probably nothing as I won't have time. But I will try to work on the
PharoLauncher as I (and others) want to use it everyday.
