No - I justed wanted to have all the Configs that worked in a specific Pharo version easily accessible to new user right from a menu. The ideas is simple: If someone downloads Pharo he usually does not know magic Gofer/Metacello scripts. He also did'nt follow the mailinglist for years to know about all the nice things that are available in Pharo world and on so many different servers (SqS, SS3, SmalltalkHub, ...) On the other side ACCESSIBILITY of packages and informations is CRUCIAL for ADOPTION. Otherwise people turn away after a short look. Thats why I created the Pharo help browser, the config browser and now work on an Pharo online help (which is alpha but accessible from the config browser already). And I'm not Inria ;) >So anyone (having done the necessary validation for 2.0) can copy into >the MetaRepoForPharo20 ? Yes - for now we do it manually. In the future I would like to see a mechanism that loads the config for a specific Pharo version and validates by running all the tests. If broken the author/community can be informed. If OK it should appear in the config browser... Bye T.
