Hilaire We invested 3 years of PhD of Guillermo + 8 months of hard work of christophe and guillermo. Pavel spent years to produce the mini image and now with the bootstrap it is opening a lot of possibilities. We will do it and it will work. And ***I LOVE THEIR WORK***. I DREAMED about it more than 15 years ago and they make it true. This is a game changer. It forces the system to be a lot more modular and cleaner.
In the future people will take a core and their own configuration and build whatever they want. And we will build Pharo based on this core. I understand that you want to focus on DrGeo but the situation is like that. There is no magic. Stay in Pharo 30 but do not expect people will help you because Pharo is now more than 4 years old. I think that Pavel was really supportive with you. Now when I see your emails, I often see you ranting and people takes on their free time to help you so the more you rant the less people will help you. Ask yourself when it is the last time that you fixed a typo in Pharo and proposed a fix or just reproduce a bug that is not on your direct interest. You see people are sensible to this matter. I imagine that you know the soup of stone story. Pharo is our common goods and this is important that we all pay attention to it.
