This is a long time since I did not contribute to Pharo, so I tried
with something easy...
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=7108
I downloaded latest successful build,
Pharo2.0a
Latest update: #20433
Then I updated the 5 methods from a MC merge, and...
Err... I cannot type my initials ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H full name
The dialog insists on selecting any letter I type and next letter will
override the previous one.
I finally published anonymously, that does not matter...
But you know the impact of a first bad UI impression...
It would ruin tons of efforts I know you spent cleaning the infrastructure.
I believe such cleaning is very ambitious and rarely rewarding in the
short term...
But I'd really like to be more supportive, it's so essential for
building the future.
So before ranting loud, I digged a bit further: could it be this
warning I had at startup about obsolete VM, yes that was it!
So if you are episodic user like me :
******** DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD A PHARO SPECIFIC VM *************
I already spent way more time on this than I wished, hope my mistake
helps someone else.
( over-estimating pharo planned obsolescence period is indeed a
mistake ;) why would the VM be handled differently ? )
Last thing, maybe you should insist on the download page that 2.0
REQUIRES a pharo specific VM.
Not sure I would have read it, but then it would be entirely my fault.

Or... for 2.0 Beta and 2.0 Release provide only a one-click package. If
anyone wants just the image, they can get it from the CI server.
