Lasy attitude by the programmer directly shows up in the install routine. You're not in supermarket. You are on pharo-development list. Here the half-way is norm. And stable and complete happens once per year , when new version released, but in fact those terms are not applicable as well. If you would know what continuous development is, you would never put half way, because every release you get will be characterized as a half way, because it is only a milestone we put, after a lot of things done, but there's always more to be done. We're not cooking cakes here. We're not selling TV-sets here. When i see such a lousy packed piece of software i just expect crap quality in it, sorry!

Re: [Pharo-project] Spoon presentation 2012-02-24
You're not in supermarket. You are on pharo-development list. Exactly. Perhaps a auction might help, where Pharo users meet programmers. A feature wanted as offer, Smalltalk programmers may secretly offer their implementation for €$ (2nd lowest offer wins, see 'swiss auction') and as soon the money is collected (open sponsor bid), the programmer is contracted to implement. Pharo group just helps implementing a bit, being as well payed, different models may apply. I have no problem to pay for features that i want to have implemented, but i simply refuse to sponsor Pharo development, not knowing what for and when it will be ready. With open bids for development (anonymous bids for implementation) it will be fun for companies to continuously raise their offer to see a feature implemented soon. The more important it is for their business, the more and the quicker they spend. AND - its cheap, cause cost divide up among investors. There are lots of companies waiting, who - rather sooner as later - would leave commercial platforms costing them several hundred bucks a year per client. But as long as the Pharo group does not offer them a instrument to steer and control Pharo development, nothing will happen. Develop the development process! regards, Guido Stepken

Dollars in the hundreds are hardly a deterrent to business, nor enough to make developers here jump through hoops that involve huge amounts of work.

Hi, Craig! Concerning your Spoon demo ... *nobody* around me has Apple. Would you please make your demo installable on Windows or better Linux? tnx in advance ... Guido
Re: [Pharo-project] Spoon presentation 2012-02-24
Hi Guido-- *nobody* around me has Apple. Would you please make your demo installable on Windows or better Linux? Do you mean the Prezi presentation? That runs on MacOS and Windows (run prezi.exe). thanks, -C -- Craig Latta www.netjam.org/resume +31 6 2757 7177 + 1 415 287 3547

Lasy attitude by the programmer directly shows up in the install routine. It is certainly true that more people are willing to try a package if it is easier to install, but it is a chicken and egg thing: developers underestimate how difficult it is for others to work with what they have done (since they've been working on it for months or even years), and without feedback from people who have actually tried to get something to work, developers have a hard time making things easier for everyone else.

Re: [Pharo-project] Spoon presentation 2012-02-24
Hi Chris-- You showed us this earlier in the week -- and the feedback then was, voice-over, please. When the music started I hoped perhaps you were going to sing it to us. :) Heh. Yeah, all this version adds is the ability to watch it passively on YouTube. I'm editing a voice-over now for a future version. It's nice demo, but so far I've only seen the components that are IN Spoon -- I am interested in seeing an OUTPUT of Spoon. Anything to take me to the next-level of understanding and confidence about it.. Sure; the next movie I'm making is basically the real presentation, with lots of departures from the slides into the live system. I expect there will be versions of different lengths for various attention spans, and the full version will be about an hour. thanks again, -C -- Craig Latta www.netjam.org/resume +31 6 2757 7177 + 1 415 287 3547
