  Dear List,

 MondrianPaintings is a package belonging to the Mondrian  
 repository that contains few classes apparently to compute cycles,  
 render a distribution map, and render some views related to Flair. 
 Problem is we never really discussed what this MondrianPaintings is  
 about. I understand it as a bunch of applications based on  
 Mondrian, more complex than basic stuff, and independent of Moose.
 But it still a bit in the gray.

 There is a number of problems with this package:
 	- It contains too few tests. Among the 9 test run, 4 raise an  
 error. Apparently CollectionExtensions is required, which belongs  
 to Moose. Mondrian cannot depends on Moose. Maybe  
 CollectionExtensions may be moved into a standalone package for  
 which both Mondrian and Moose can depend on. 
  	-
MOSmalltalkPaintings>>viewWAPackageHierarchy depends on  
 WAPackage which is not present in Mondrian and in a Dev image 
 yes this is viz for seaside packages

 What should we do with this package? We could move it to Moose,  
 but identifying cycles is an interesting feature that go beyond  
 Moose. As far as a I can see, making CollectionExtensions an  
 independent package looks the best compromise. 
 Actually this package does not contain any cycle identification  
 algo (there are in MooseAlgos and DSM for now), it's just stand- 
 alone visualizations in which you can put data. 
 Fixed. I actually move the cycle tables and layer tables classes to  
 MooseAlgos. Please test.

 I agree that CollectionExtensions should have its own project.

 Cheers,
 Alexandre
