I think here we have to work hard to stress this fact since IIUC the /pièce de résistance/ for Pharo is having all production work done by Seaside. > 3) Tomorrow we can have AidaWeb images based in > pharo (please Janko!!) so we can just do the same and put the link > to those images. While I'm fond of the idea on having AidaWeb very soon as possible, I also think we should put ourselves in Janko's shoes and understand that he'll need to master Metacelllo to arrive at the packaging. . . > 4) You may notice that Seaside images are a bit "different" than our > Dev images.

I would postpone the publishing of these kind of scripts for a much more stable Pharo and Metacello (or packaging solution ensuing), otherwise you'll have the same work as testing the scripts means creating and testing the packages!! > > So...what do you think?
