Shall we run www.squeak.org too?
Hi Aiders,
Ken Causey just proposed me to stand up as a Squeak Web Team to maintain
main Squeak website http://www.squeak.org. And he even propose to switch
site to Aida! Well, nice surprise and flatter, I can't deny that :)
So, shall we go to that or not, that is the question now. It is
definitively a wonderful opportunity for Aida and Scribo to show all
strengths to Squeakers...
What do you think? Shall we go? I'd also like to see that someone else
stand up and join me in this web team ... ;)

Re: Shall we run www.squeak.org too?
I will definitely help you there Janko!
But we have to be carefull, we can't miss this opportunity, and be sure
that Scribo is ready for production.
Cheers!

Re: Shall we run www.squeak.org too?
True...maybe I can run the all-new-soon-to-be-released "Aida for beginners" section of Squeak.org! That way you won't have to answer all my questions all over again!
You really have written I nice framework. I can't believe how much it has helped me learn Smalltalk in general in just a short time.

I think this would be a great opportunity for Aida/Scribo. The more
Smalltalk websites that use Smalltalk and hopefully Aida the better the
mindshare for Aida. Count me in too.
I am hoping that I'll have some time soon to get working on some Aida
projects. Work has just taken all my time recently. But I am about to
clear some stuff off my plate.

Well, and now you are in the middle of a tool war ;-)
Would it make sense to port/adapt the Smallwiki with external storage
version to Aida so we would have a Aida based Wiki? Or could Scribo be
used for that?

Do you use VisualWorks mostly? I like a lot of what I see in VisualWorks, but I am doing a proof-of-concept project for a hospital that we WILL use, but we are...cheap!
Therefore, with Squeak, the price was right!
VisualWorks seems a bit zippier, though, and I really like some of the add-on packages like tabbed browsing, and the ability to dive with the inspector. Not to mention native database drivers and better dll support. Oh well, maybe next year!
Anyway, I was wondering...if I was properly motivated to do so, do you think that "real world" [Aida] examples would be benificial? Maybe with a "business" slant to it? If the Ruby'ers can do it, why can't we?
Maybe in a screencast format with associated text that you could copy if you liked. If you did it right, I suppose you would have good content for a Sophie book, which would be an interesting kind of closure on a Squeak web site.
All I know is that after four years of trying to learn Smalltalk, things are finally starting to make sense because:
1. I am trying to solve a real problem that I care about. 2. Aida lets me create a view of my domain model in a very basic way. 3. Without #2, it's boring. People like to "see" an answer, and, let's face it, Morphic programming is hard!

Well, that was my first fear as a reaction to Ken proposal. But that's a
life. Let we show what we are capable of delivering and don't take much
to the heart words from certain people.

Scribo already have a Wiki and on top of Wiki a website runs. Let me
show with class hierarchy of domain model for one page:
Object
VersionedObject
Document
WikiPage
SitePage
MySitePage
So it surely make sense to make a port of SmallWiki content to Scribo
and to make (or extend yours?) a converter for SmallWiki and also Swiki,
WikiWorks and other wikis, all those which are not supported anymore.
And I really think that Scribo Wikis could have a longer timespan that
above mentioned ones. By design, because of community, because of
commercial apps running on top of them. So porting to Scribo is
worthwhile, I'm sure.

Ah, great. Somehow I had Scribo confused with the Blog on top of it.

OK, I will see that I can dig out the code and a copy of the content.
Although I think it was so large they had to send us a DVD back then...

Sorry if my comment is a bit off-topic, but I'm really interested in
know more about Scribo.
I've a lot of "swikis" in production and never migrated to SW because
te complexity. May be I should consider Scribo, but must know
before....

Hi,
Scribo is not released yet, but we try to hurry and we'll probably
release it in some weeks, maybe a month. So, be patient :)
Anyway I can say a few words about it. Like Aida/Web, we try with Scribo
to keep things as simple as possible. By simple I mean easy to use, to
extend and develop with.
It has some nice features, like full blog support, gallery and
attachments, xml export (we are still working on this) and of course all
what Aida gives: RESTful urls, TinyMCE integration, users and group
management and so on.
You can take a look at my personal blog to see what Scribo-blog looks
like: http://nico.bioskop.frWe'll also try to release preconfigured image with Aida/Web and
Aida/Scribo running, like Sophie one click experience. What can be
easier for the end user than this ? :)
Cheers!

Hi Germán,
But it could be that due to the recent squeak.org bid we will release
Squeak version sooner, at least beta. So stay tuned!

Re: Shall we run www.squeak.org too?

Yes I use VW. I have looked at Squeak and like the idea of using it,
but am put off by two things. First, I really do not like the UI, and
then secondly, if I get past that I have to find the time, and that is
not too easy at the moment.
I first taught myself Smalltalk in 1992, but then moved away from
programming in 1999. I have never been able to understand why
developers use any other language, it is just so elegant, powerful and
fast. It seems to me that some of the fundamental principles, like
late-binding, are how natural, complex adaptive systems work.
I think the main reason that Smalltalk is not better known is simply
down to some terrible commercial and marketing decisions made in the
mid-nineties, which allowed Java to get popular mindshare - that's my |
