Hi,
Good idea. This is what I wanted to get when I asked about what people are doing a while
ago :). I will follow up on this topic after we release 4.6. Until then:
- Humane assessment, marketing and the Moose architecture:
--- Humane assessment is what I discovered to bring value in practice, and I want to get
Moose to support its workflows. For example, I want to get a rule in a report in under 15
minutes.
--- We have to find the key message that can be used to communicate what we are doing.
Humane assessment can be a good driver. For example, a candidate message is "Your
analysis in under 15 minutes", or "Making your analysis happen".
--- Marketing is much easier when the product is aligned internally with the key message.
That is why we have to rethink the architecture and package the code accordingly. My
current view is summarized here:

- Browsing and visualization:
What we have done with Glamour or Mondrian is just in its infancy. There is a ton of
things that I think could be done, and that go way beyond what the current rendering
offers. But this is a larger project that requires more collaboration and synchronization.
- Rethinking the way we work:
Moose was born out of research, and this should continue to happen. Engineering is
important, but we have to come together and do research. The key is "together".
This does not happen much lately.
- Other interests: new query possibilities (e.g., SOUL), new data sources, scaleability,
and new presentation mediums (e.g., html5).
Cheers,
Doru

Hi!
"Que tal?" in Spanish can be translated in English as "How are you? How
things are going?"
It would be cool that each of us briefly summarize what he is working on and what is the
future plan.
Visualization engine:
I am intensively working on Roassal. A new visualization engine that should replace
Mondrian. Roassal will provide a better user experience with visually appealing animations
and interactions. I will probably make some announcement at the beginning of March.
The mid-long term vision of Roassal is to have an agile and portable visualization
engine. I want to make it work on VisualWorks and Amber, in addition to Pharo.
Analyzing Smalltalk application:
Together with Santiago, we are working on using unit test to refine model obtained from
Smalltalk applications. The idea is to profile what is currently executing to reduce
superfluous invocation candidates.
I also applied to some grant to analyze JavaScript applications in Moose. We will see how
it goes.
What about you?
Cheers,
Alexandre
