Yep, I know the value of a mailing list for a community. However, I simply 
cannot afford to spend hours reading all (very long) the emails on that topic. 
Once a Pharo community will be bootstrapped in Chile, then I will be more able 
to participate on topics that do not directly matter for the university, my 
employer.

Writing a six-lines email is as valuable as writing a method of six-line of 
code, at least to me :-)

Alexandre,

Understood, that is why the discussion is taking place on the Metacello list ... There are actually a number of issues that are being addressed by a small set of concepts so a number of us are working through the issues trying to iron out the details ...

The actual implementation is not that complicated, but we are making significant additions to the conceptual model so we are taking care (the devil is in the details).

In the end you will see something like the following announced as the model for loading projects:

   Gofer project loadStable: 'OB'.
   Gofer project loadDevelopment: 'OB'.
   Gofer project loadStable: 'OB' group: #( 'Tests' 'Javascript').
   Gofer project loadBleedingEdge: 'OB'.
   Gofer project load: 'OB' version: '1.1.4'.

along with documentation for specifying the #stableVersion, #developmentVersion and #bleedingEdgeVersion.

I think that Mariano and I fully expect to make a pass on the majority of configurations in the MetacelloRepository to update the configs to match the expectations and provide examples.

Dale
