Great job ! This could be a great poster ;-)

Maybe you have to put Pharo Logo in the middle and enhance the fonts
of different topics in blue circle (Server, Data, etc ...) so the
people can read them more easily.

Pharo is mostly development platform, and image shows mostly libraries and
frameworks for development, but "Development" circle in the image is more
about tools primarly targeted to support process of development. So, if Gofer
and Metacello is not used for this purpose (maybe it is, I'm not sure), it
should be in "Working" circle.

"Working" circle is mostly about tools and applications for "normal" people.
Maybe it should be named like: "Desktop"...

"Server" circle is meant to show that Pharo itself can offer services to other
parties.

Development/Working/Server are some kinde of trinity around it everyhing else
is rotating. But Pharo is more about Development so other circles are main
groups of libraries and frameworks.

It should help people to:

I would like to add links pointing to part of books or to videos where

Fuel is under Data - Storing (but I thinking about move it under Import/Export
SmaCC and PetitParser are Import/Export - Parsers
OMeta can be included.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo family update

Magritte could be categorized as meta-modelling.

PostgreSQL, Magma, MongoDB, etc should be Databases.
Persistency should include Voyage, GLORP, SandstoneDB, etc.

I dont know :) - I dont even know if it should be included. It is part of 
Nautilus from this point 
of view. I em not aware about possiblity to choose different compiler or to 
compile e.g. 
javascript into smalltalk.

I em not sure if it fits into philosophy of the picture. Reflectivity as well 
as living environmet is 
attribute of Pharo. This picture is more about tools, applications, frameworks 
and libraries for 
Pharo. It can be pointed out in accompanying description (under Pharo logo).

There is Data analysis with Moose included.

Can be. First version contains this, but I change it because connectors to 
external databases 
are used for more then persistency. It may also allow to define model, query 
data, 
authenticate users, allows concurency etc...

So persistency is now under Data/Storing

Yes, but they are able to provide service outside of running Pharo (through 
network), aren't 
they? I did not finish reading all books yet :)

Maybe this is a good question. What kind of services can Pharo provide over the 
network (or 
local sockets or pipes)? Zinc as HTTP for sure (somewhere I see HTTPS 
branch...or TLS 
implementation). WEB, REST and others are covered in Web development.
VNC - through RemoteFrameBuffer. 
Databases (direct connection without using REST)?
Repository and versioning (like Smalltalkhub - but I think it uses HTTP)
CORBA?
What about possibility to share objects (by cloning objects or by sending 
messages or by using 
proxy objects)?
(Now I em not able to think about anything else much usefull :) - SSH, NTP, 
IMAP, nothing 
like this seems to be right job for Pharo - but who knows :))

Sounds good. Still I em wondering about "Server" circle (like I wrote in my

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo family update

[Ben Coman]

Thanks Adam.  This is a great initiative. I really like the
internal/external distinction.

A few questions...

Why is "Compilers" outside the circle?

What is the "VB" part of "VB-Regex" ?

and a few suggestions...

> About categories I would group in different way but it's personal choice. 
> Like...
> Reflection

It would be nice to emphasise our reflective capability, but what
would be some subparts?

> Code Analysis

This could just be "Analysis" and include Moose and SciSmalltalk.

> Persistency

Maybe "Connectors" could be renamed to "Persistence".

It would be good to promote in-Image persistence solutions since that
is a speed advantage for prototyping.  btw, Is SimplePersistance
stable enough to be included?
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/SimplePersistence

I don't think Magma and SandstoneDb provide services to other clients
(??) and so don't seem related to "Server" and would group better with
"Connectors/Persistence". That does then leave "Server" a bit bare.
Perhaps "RemoteFrameBuffer" would be a good fit.


"Output" is a bit too much like "Export".  Perhaps it could be renamed
"Presentation"

The legend could be moved to a corner (bottom left?), and "Pharo"
could be moved more centrally to its place.  In another shaded corner
you might list the major repositories:
* smalltalkhub.com
* ss3.gemtalksystems.com
* squeaksource.com
Anyone with further ideas for the other two corners?

I'm not sure that "Define" is the right tag for "Magritte".  I think
its an implementation of the "Momento" pattern, so maybe that would be
better (or maybe that is too exotic?).  Would it be reasonable to tag
it s "Forms" (??)

"Fuel" would seem to go better near STON/JSON on "Import/Export".

As well as "SUnit" as a framework, "Testing" should have "TestRunner"
and a tool.

"Searching > Spotter" would go well up next to "Finder"

"Monticello" should go closer to "Metacello" and is perhaps a good fit
to move it down to "Working", and also Versioneer is closely related
to "Metacello"."Metacello" and "CatalogBrowser" would do well to
be tagged together as "Deployment"

I like that you've got "Computations" with SciSmalltalk and
BioSmalltalk, but actually it might be good to repurpose this
"Downstream Distributions".  I think such a section demostrates a
level of maturity of a system, which is important to show.  This might
then also include Moose, Phratch, Dr.Geo and PharoROS(?).  Chalten and
Aconcagua might be re-homed under "Data."

"Spec" and "Athens" are internal to Pharo.

whoops. thats a lot. Some parts I'm not sure on - wait and see what
others think.

I don't know about SimplePersistence but in-image persistence is a cool

That would require multi-class multi-label classification, because Magritte
(and other packages) cover many areas.

thanks for clarifying that. now i understand the difference. of course they are
related, but one is used by people who want to install software, while the
other is used by developers managing their cod

i wonder if "development" could have a better name, like "tools" or 
"development tools"

and if most things are about development, then "web development" might be "web
frameworks" or just "web" because otherwise it gives the impression that other
things would not be about development.


one more thing, i find the grey-on-white small text hard to read. i have to
zoom in a lot to make it out. small text like that would be better with higher 
contrast.

svg apparently supports tooltips:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/102457/how-to-create-an-svg-tooltip-like-box
maybe that can be used here.

greetings, martin.

this looks great!
i would order the topics so that related ones are next to each other, for
example it is a bit puzzling why http/zinc is not part of webdevelopment, but
if you order them so that you have 
development - web - server ... then zinc and web would be very close and
the exact category would not matter. it could even be in the middle.

same goes for monticello and metacello. aren't they closely related? why is one
in development, the other in working?

putting working next to development would solve that.

i think this order would place related topics close to each other:
working - development - web - server - connectors - data - model - 
import/export - output - graphics

closing the circle, graphics touches working which relates to the games and
multimedia subtopics too.

this is actually something i preferred from the first version. it was more
fuzzy and didn't make such absolute statements where something belongs that
people could argue about. (ok, maybe i am the only one arguing :-)

maybe also put the svg on github so that people can fork and update it?

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo family update

[Adam]

Wow,

thanks for great feedback to everyone. I will try to modify drawings by your 
sugestions. Here is few questions:

- Aida web framework is ready for Pharo? In Pharo Catalog it is labeled as 
unstable.
- FFI by this: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30322445/pharo-4-ffi-current-state-and-the-future
 have more implementations - which one I should 
put into drawing?
- Event framework is complete framework? I found EventRecorder and EventModel. 
Aren't events part of Morphic?

Adam

Hi,

I do not agree to add Reef, Bloc and Brick now if this map is for beginners.
If this map is for beginners that need a framework we should wait to
have a usable version with documentation.
I think Bloc and Brick are not finish yet (I think) and reef lack
documentation/tutorial.

If a beginner see it on the map and test it he will have  a bad first
impression. And first impression count.

This project should be on a waiting list the time there are stable and
documented I think. But this is just my opinion.

Superb! Really nice
Margritte -> Magritte
Mondorian -> Mondrian

to add

Never heard about PharoLink but you should have Garage (a database 
generic API)


You could add MongoTalk close to Voyage

GLORP
Relational
Mapper

Woden 3D
Roassal3D

Omnibrowser is deprecated

I would put STON close to Fuel
May be you should move closer the two spots: import/export and data

Tide is not developed anymore so I would remove it
Add Reef instead (Javascript-enabled Web components)

About Graphics

you should have
Athens (Vector graphics API)
Bloc (new generation Morphic)
Brick (new generation widgets)

Hello,

I just updated drawing of projects around Pharo.

Main idea is to guide people (new users of Pharo) through fields of interests
- something they might be looking for. I choose these 10 fields devided into
some specific subjects. Somewhere it is too detailed, while elsewhere it is
too fuzzy - it is just showing image of Pharo I have in my mind.

It should help people to:
- identify important classes in Pharo,
- select right project,
- understand what is application, tool or framework,
- see what is allready inside main Pharo image.

I would like to add links pointing to part of books or to videos where
specific projects are used. And maybe a star symbol for very important or
enterprise ready projects.

As You can see I left few subjects empty. Maybe someone can help me fill this.
But I will be happy for any type of correction - changing fields of interest,
subjects, adding/removing projects etc...

I prepared textual version on github - but right now it is not coherent with
the drawing (I will correct this if needed).

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo family update

[Hernán Morales Durand]

Hello Adam,

Some feedback about the visualization:

- The OmniBrowser is not supported anymore in Pharo. You could add Nautilus
which is the browser implementation (but not a browser library).
- Monticello, Gofer and Metacello could be closer. I think Versionner and
FileTree (or GitFileTree) should be in.
- Finder could be in near Spotter (I never used Spotter).
- Event "framework" is missing (Announcement).
- Mondorian -> Mondrian. But I think that is part of Roassal now (same with
Grapher).
- There could be another category for Science with SciSmalltalk (and
BioSmalltalk of course :)
- CommandShell, OSProcess, ProcessWrapper, FFI.
- Spec could be added too.
- The Twitter Bootstrap is nice too.
- Logging support?
- VM packages?

About categories I would group in different way but it's personal choice.
Like Reflection, Code Analysis, Persistency, App Model Frameworks (Chalten,
Aconcagua), etc

Cheers,

Hernán

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo family update

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for this work. It helps a lot. Some suggestions:

- I would put "(beginners) education" instead of learning for DrGeo and 
Phratch
- I would add AidaWeb to the Web Development spot and put Import/Export 
and output near to data, because is closer to the path I have taken in 
my own newbie project.


At some point I think that maybe in another graph, would be nice to put 
"problems" instead of themes. For example, for my problem (interactive 
writing) I have used Roassal, Spec, Ston, GT Browsers and I think that 
most of the times you're driven by problems more that themes. So may be, 
once you have your family diagram ready, we can see how to complement it 
showing problems related to the projects we're making.


I wonder how can something like that be mapped on Roassal (but your 
SVG's are pretty fancy).


Keep the good work,

Offray

Hi,

This is really great and valuable! I think this should be add to
pharo.org because this is really helpful for new users that are not on
the mailing list.

Here some feedback:
- I think Pillar is more an application than a Framework.
- For the Games there is Metaborg I thank.
- Maybe you should add the CatalogBrowser to "Deployment"? Or is it too
small?
- Maybe FFI should be added?
- Maybe GitFileTree should be added?
- Maybe OSProcess should be added?
- Maybe Spec should be added?

But you did a great job! :)
