Pretty much along those lines yes. What I'm working on is building the sorts of systems that work well for programming "in the round" where you cover the walls of your meeting room with projectors, and multiple groups of people can directly collaborate on code, test it, and run it right there. The classic code browser approach doesn't lend itself to multiple people editing and manipulating the code at the same time, it is designed for a single user on a screen with limited real estate. The other issue is that the browser environment hides too much complexity, and so it doesn't scale up when you can use gigantic displays with infinite virtual space. I've done 2 initial versions of the interface in Javascript and Forth, and am working on porting the environment to Pharo. I think Pharo Smalltalk + a new editor designed for tele-team programming would be a very compelling platform for a lot of distributed projects. The past few years, every project I've consulted for involved programmers in at least 5 time zones. Our tools really need to better reflect that reality. :) Dave -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://blog.dloh.org/
