I would like to release 4.6 soon. It's been too long, and it contains important fixes.

After this, we should allocate the effort to improve the packaging and the configurations. Perhaps one idea is to synchronize this re-packaging effort with the move to SmalltalkHub.
I haven't closely look at SmalltalkHub. But will this work with Monticello and Metacello? I guess so, this should not impact the way we work.
Sure. If you look at a project, you will even see that it has a special section dedicated to Gofer scripts directly on the main webpage.
What do you say?
We definitely need to work on the packaging. This is really frustrating that we are interested in software evolution and we are not able to analyze the evolution of Moose.
I think we should do a complete reshape of the all the configuration used in Moose.
We should start a new version of Moose incrementally, by adding packages, step by step. We should organize a workshop only on this task. End of January is feasible for me.
It's not packages that pose the problem. It's the big picture that is not clearly defined that poses a problem. Because of this, packages are placed in the wrong places, and this to leads unwanted dependency gets, and in the end, configurations get messy and sometimes circular.
Please read the message I sent a while ago entitled: "major repackaging planned"
Cheers, Doru
