Things get very complicated if one start with the roof (tools) and later thinks about a new ground plan with changes in the basement (core). And you cant really get a good home if you design the new ground plan always with compatibility to the broken and misshapend roof... What we currently try is to always work a little bit on the ground floor and update the top floor accordingly (if time permits) If we wouldnt live within this home - we wouldnt care if the roof is covered and rain comes in, we would get the basement right and later build a fashionable roof on top of it. >Stef wrote: >Doing that for real here with three kids :) Doing for real too (with two kids) - but not while living in it (living somewhere else). So you have less dirt and things do not get too much unpleasant since you always have a fallback/save home. To bring it back to Pharo this would mean to boostrap a new home/image from an already working one which is AFAIK also in the pipe...
