I've started to work on a project to list usable Pharo/Squeak packages.
Kind of http://ruby-toolbox.com/ for open source smalltalks.
The basic idea is to have a list of packages with a description and how
to load them (basically via Metacello configuration). People could
comment packages to let other know if it works for them in their
favorite dialect. If a convention toward package management with
Metacello is reached we could imagine that data is automatically fetched
from Metacello description. But lets start simple first...
Crawling Squeaksource to find libraries is a not a delicious experience
(at least for me).
It's probably premature to talk about this project here now (especially
given my time constraints these days) but this thread motivates me to
give it a serious try.
Cheers,
Francois

Yea, that's a good question. I think it's primarily for us. Who else would be interested?
Someone taking a technology decision? "Sure, I'm going to use Pharo – these guys
look so cute!" ;). Not likely.
So, the Google wiki could be a better place. Unless we want to argue that the
website is not only for new people learning about Pharo but also for us to
build the community.

Hmmm maybe this is turning into something different than the original
intention? (or at least what it seemed the original intention to me)
I think that 'having a page' is making this a little more formal than it
first looked like :P Because it's not the same if its a page in the website
that can be used as a reference to people visiting the website (people other
than us), than something 'internal' only used to know our faces. I think
that's why you ended up thinking about 'who's in and who's out'.
So why do you want this on the pharo-project.org website? Do you really want
it to be some reference to the public of that website, or just something
informal for us to use?

Nice ! But you know i'm not a big contributor to Pharo.
The page is "Contributors", not "Big contributors" :) I wonder if I
should change it to "Contributors& Users". Users are really important
because it shows Pharo is used in real world.
One of the first question when I show Pharo is: who use it ? It seems
people don't care if it's good or not. Knowing that there's users bring
confidence.
So, who is supposed on this page? :) I'm also no big contributor if one
at all.
I would define it like this: everyone who is part of the Pharo community in
that he contributes or is engaged in discussions.
So if there is somebody who hasn't contributed but who we know from the
mailing list or conferences, its also nice to have him on the page. On the
other hand, if it is somebody who we don't know because he doesn't
participate, there's no point in adding him.

Maybe for people who have a Gravatar account, you can use their
pictures, so people have control on their own pictures.

Hi,
I've started a Contributors
page http://pharo-project.org/about/contributors.
Tell me if you like it or not before going further.
If you want to be on this page, just send me a photo (120px wide at
least)
and links, short text you want to put here.
Cheers,

Hi guys
the pharo web site does not support that yet :)
but I would love to have some pictures of you because this is not that
fun
to talk daily with people
when we do not even know their faces so we could start to build a
pharo
fun community.
Let me know what you think.
Stef
