 Ok then I think the best way to do this is to start this in my own github
 account then give you guys the link , review the documentation and if you
 find satisfying add it to SquareBracketAssociates via forking it, if not I
 can still continue it with my github account. Of course I will use pillar
 and follow the same workflow as PBE. I don't want to do this via blog posts
 , I prefer pillar and github.

 We can create a repo on


  PBE wise looks like from what I see from a first look that 12 out 16
 chapters are ported. So PBE is near completion at least at a draft level. I
 can give a hand with a couple more chapters thats not a big deal.

 Thanks. We will have to read it again. I have to check (I got stuck in the
 model chapter and the first one).

  There is no Pharo book for Morphic and for me this is a big omission.
 Frankly I would take even a small docs about Morphic and Pharo 3/4 over no
 documentation at all, any day.


 Sure
 Just read what I said.
 Go incremental.

  I am not saying that you should contribute to a Morphic book I mean this
 is your choice but its something I want to work on. If people want to
 contribute all they have to do is fork my repo and send me pull requests or
 even add them as contributors. If they dont want, no problemo I continue
 alone.

  In any case when I have something substantial (something more than 30
 pages) I will alert the list.

  I would start small and for example as a series of blog posts.
 Then we you reach a certain amount I would then turn them into a book.

 For Spec we plan to collect all the material and have a small booklet.


 My plan is to add it to github group SquareBracketAssociates which I am
 member of for contributing to the new PBE.

 Is that ok with you ?


  it is ok but now the strategy I adopted is the following one:
 - avoid to have many unfinished books (or many not making progress or
 slow progress)
 - this is why I have work in progress to work on the chapters, ready
 for reviews then the chapters will populate the books
 - this way I do not give the impression that Pharo is starting stuff
 and not finishing
 - I would suggest the same: host some chapter in the work in progress
 and when you enough push that to a book.

 I finished an editorial pass on deep into pharo and will continue to work
 on Pharo by example, then resume my work on
 the other books (slow is n't it :)).


 I will try to port all documentation available already for Morphic from
 self and squeak to Pharo 4 and of course add my own pages as well.

  There is not much available, or exciting but you can start there.


  I also have forgot my travis password, I have asked here before but none
 replied, so if anyone can help me recover my password or create a new one
 or create a job for the project , I will appreciate it.


  travis I do not know.


 Obviously I want to make this project according to the guidelines of the
 community. So if you have suggestions fire away :)

 I would like this to be the official book on Morphic , I want it to be
 both a tutorial but also a reference book with more emphasis on the
 reference side. Probably will divide in into a Part 1 and a Part 2 where
 Part 1 is the tutorial and Part 2 is the reference.

 I dont expect to of course to do a ton of work and finish this book any
 time soon, but then something is better than nothing.
