I'd like to suggest you teach people Smalltalk natively, so they don't
get distracted by the false view of a filetree of classes. One huge
differentiator of Smalltalk, from any other language out there, is the
live object environment. You should use that environment to teach from
or the nuance will be lost and they may well give up. Consider, is there
any Java IDE that allows any expression anywhere to be evaluated and
inspected with a mouse click or shortcut? So host your mcz on github but
provide an install doc to have them install Pharo and load your code,
for the lessons. They will look at Smalltalk code naturally in Pharo
browsers and be exposed to an IDE they have never before experienced, as
well. In the process you can webinar your navigations that they can
follow along. Nebraska around? Those who consider it worthy will stay.
Keep doing what you are doing!

Thank you for the answers! Actually my question has a rather silly
reason: I find it difficult to navigate and peek at code in the
current format. I would like to show ST code to other people through
GitHub — it is pretty common for me to discuss implementations of
katas, for example, from multiple platforms only looking at the GitHub
project —, but the format get in the way. People usually give up of
looking it because it is hard to navigate through the directory tree
and understand all the separate pieces as a whole, and so I must
explain my solution verbally and people get suspicious of ST and
unwilling to try the environment for the first time. :(
I think I am going to commit a fileout of the project, maybe people
will find easier to peek at. Do you have other suggestion?
Thanks!

Do you have something specific in your mind ?
What are your needs and desires for an alternate Filetree format ?

Hello,
I was wondering: is there another format available for Filetree?
