Just watching the PharoDAYS 2015: GT Tools video [1] and I had an idea how
to make the discoverability better for how to create your own
presentations.  Around 6:19, the class "ABAddressBook" is clicked, and
before a method is clicked, the bottom pane is empty.  That could be filled
with a template for a custom presentation, similar templates in the System
Browser when a package is selected but no class selected, or a protocol is
selected but no method.

btw, At the end I felt like clapping with the audience.  This sort of
overview it what has been missing from my understanding the overall
aim/architecture of GT Tools (perhaps I missed something previous of
humane-assessment site.)

GTChatter looks promising, but obviously early days.  It feels like there
is more potential than was demonstrated.

Now the moldability demonstrated by the GTInspector and GTSpotter seem so
close to what others like LightTable are calling live programming, that I
think we would even hold these up under that banner.  If the first two
(since they are in the image) were split out from the video [1] I think
this would be suitable quality to incorporate into marketing the Pharo 4
release.

On the pharo.org home page, maybe "moldable tools" should be added under
the "Feel a live environment" heading.  btw, I notice there that
"developping" has too many 'p's.
