Stef,
I am very interested in serializers, but I (right or wrong) do not

good feeling about ReferenceStream and friends. When I last tested
them
(a while back), the output was BIG, and I was not comfortable about

location[*] of the conversion methods, nor with the timing: as
usual, if
I goof, please raise an error, don't put browsers in front of my end
users =:0
Indeed :)
That said, I am expecting to port some of my code, and completely
rewrite other parts using things like Magritte. A variation on
ReferenceStream might turn out to be of use to me. However, I am also
considering something, again along the lines of Magritte (if not
part or
an extension thereof) to make my persistence independent of the
internal
representation of objects. With extensive unit testing, I think I
could
make that work, and should at least investigate it.
Dolphin's STB and in particular its handling of layout changes is
pretty
good. I also found some things to like about SIXX and might try to
blend the two.
However clunky, I want to get my BibTeX system up and running, and
then
I will probably turn attention to an out-filer that writes code that
Pharo can read. Some gnashing of teeth later, I will start to port
sub-systems, redesigning some as I go.
I used SIXX (in fact Smallwiki had an implementation using SIXX).
But I still would like to have some other nice solution like
ImageSegments and smartRefStream

[*] IIRC, they end up in ReferenceStream itself, rather than in the
class that "needs help." It struck me as asking for trouble.

Hello guys
I was reading the class ReferenceStream and sisters/mother.
The ones that are in System-Object Storage.
I think that these classes are important.
They have a good class comments, even if we could improve.
I would really like to use them as a test-bed for a canonical
documentation
effort:
- unit tests
- simple how to use
I would also like to see if they can be rebuild on top of Nile.
So I would like to know if some of you are interested working on this
task.
