Hi Igor, Thanks for your advice.

I think you should take a look on Nautilus project (Ben, can you provide link/instructions?). It using trees instead of lists to display contents in browser.
[...] I will see Nautilus after reading more about Glamour.
But i puzzled, what are use of trees in workspace? Maybe you meant browser? Because by looking at screenshots [1], it is closely similar to browser. Workspace in smalltalk is just a text editing area where you can type small snippets of code and then evaluate them. I see no way where trees could be of any use in workspace.

The screenshot you find was for the use of Leo as a programming environment, but it can be also used for documentation using reStructuredText fluidly I'm kind of a compulsive documentator. I have used previously Leo mainly for documentation and not for programming because I'm not a programmer, but I think that is time to learn it and I want to do it with Pharo/Smalltalk (but keeping python in my belt anyway because of it uses in another fields of my interest). One of the things I like more about Leo is the fact that you can organize any kind of information in a integrated emergent tree and has a nice feature, called "Clones" so the same nodes in a tree can be put in an arbitrary place and be changed in synchrony, creating different ways of see the information inside the tree.
In contrast with this experience, workspaces look and feel a lot plain. I'm using them to document my learning in Pharo/Smalltalk and I create different workspaces for this preliminary exploration: one for Seaside, one for Aida, One for Moose, and one for PBE. They include not only code snippets but also text, not the kind of text that you will put on classes of methods, but the one that you will put on a blog post, interchanging text and code snippets. Thats why I want to create a tree like workspace. I will keep you posted and made the usual newbie questions.
Thanks, Offray
