Good thread I would love also to hear what other Pharoers work behind the scenes
My own project is Ephestos a visual coding enviroment for Blender . I have made some good progress in 2014 and I am sure 2015 will bring more features. Ephestos will benefit the Pharo community by 1) Offering full access to the most powerful open source and free application for creating of 3d art , Blender. 2) Allow Pharo full access to Cpython libraries one of the most popular and powerful language out there and also allow python code to mix with pharo , see python code as pharo code etc. Both goals have been achieved partly and I hope to bring my project closer to them each year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPGDQc5LUvE I am also interested as secondary goals to 3) bring more visual coding tools to pharo 4) integrate tablets and smartphones (android and ios) with pharo as external controllers and as replacements to both mouse and keyboard.
