At this point, that's all I can report. Now, it has been several months and it could easily be that it was not Athens or that Igor fixed it already.

Max, if you need some help (particularly in regard to resources or documentation), let me know. Anyway, I'm back to doing some Pharo / Smalltalk development (currently server side). Eventually this will translate into contributions. I mainly replied to let Esteban know that there is more goodwill out there than he realizes.
