the problem is that we should get less but more powerful tools than more stupid

What I need is O2 way of looking at package and I'm stuck because I could not
find time integrating
RPackage into systemNotification....
OK I eventually found a working Protocol browser in a beta image (and I
can see how it broke in later images).
I can see the idea - and I guess it relies on everyone categorising
things properly (I now understand why you get that prompt to categorise
your methods properly when you save :)
My initial impression is that it could be easily improved - for example
you get no idea how many methods are in a category without clicking on
it (some are empty, some have 10 methods etc).
This said, I still would go back to my initial comment - why is there a
method finder in the Tools menu, but no Class finder? (In our new
smalltalkers tutorial at CSLondon - people actually used the method
finder to try and figure out how to do things like String beginsWith:
etc. - but how do you find classes? Its got to be related to class name
and class comments (and maybe the protocols they support).
But I guess the bigger question is - how can you guys that know how to
do this, impart the information and direction so that those of us
following behind can meaningfully contribute without wasting your time?
Do you think there could be a How to Contribute to Pharo tools BOF at
ESUG? What is the direction - is it OB or is it Glamor? How do you get
started with OB, and what kinds of tools do we need?
Anyway - I appreciate the patience, and I will keep plugging away.
