Mark & Sebastian, Sebastian, the link you provided is to a RewriteToolsSet... I don't understand how this provides insights into a Spec2 solution? - but admittedly I didn't dig too deep - I saw WorldMenu items and went 'woah-stop!', lol. I'm hoping there was another link Mark referenced that perhaps didn't come through my email chain :)
I REALLY want to learn how others use Spec2 in an integrated way (interconnected presenters, model refreshes, etc.). I've written 6 apps in Pharo (all with Spec2 GUI) and I still don't feel as if I'm doing things correctly. I can 'get things to work' and I'm pretty pleased with them in general, but I usually run up against the same 'refresh' issues, especially around notebooks. Esteban is a wealth of information and has been very helpful for my basic understanding - but I can envision him shaking his head at my feeble attempts and questions (just kidding Esteban!). I am VERY interested to review Spec2 code others are successfully using, so I can hopefully get past whatever brainblock I have in my Spec2 designs. ... and I would very much like to be involved in a Spec2 workshop/session/whatever! Happy Pharo-ing!
