Hi Lukas
I would like to have a SmallWiki alpha release and help
with user level testing
- take a fresh Squeak 3.4 image
- load Comanche (which version?)
- load Smallwiki
- do various user level lests (description in use case style).
I would come up with these use cases if they do not
exist already.
What do you think?
Regards
Hannes
> how can i send you patches and enhancements for SmallWiki ?
Great!
Patches: I am not sure how to do this with VisualWorks the best. As I'm
coming from the Squeak world, I would suggest to use Change-Sets. But
there are probably better solutions using StORE, I just don't know.
Enhancements: I think that there will be setup a special SmallWiki
StORE for the Smalltalk lecture. Probably you could publish your
enhancements there.
> I already try to understand the whole framework.
I've attached a PDF of a small presentation I did about SmallWiki. The
full demo was done inside the wiki itself, but it is somehow difficult
to load, because it needs an unofficial alpha-patch to SIXX.
Cheers
Lukas

I am using the latest VisualWorks VM for Mac OS X and I just discovered
that the class Time is returning the wrong hour:
Time now printString '12:37:16 am'
I have done the above print-it at 09:37:16 o' clock system-time.
Does anybody has got an idea how to fix that? I think this is probably
a bug in the VM, as on other OS it seems to work correctly.

Hi Masashi,
I am still struggling around with SIXX to store my wiki-data. Sometimes
there are strange exceptions popping up, when loading from a stream,
but I think that I could identify the problem finally:
When streaming-out an object, SIXX does save the name
of the class, but not the namespace where this class
was defined in. When later loading, it does sometimes
take the wrong class to instantiate.
I think this issue should be quite easy to fix, because there is just
another attribute called 'sixx.environment' needed for each instance.
Other Smalltalk implementation, that do not have namespace could simply
ignore it and SIXX would be still dialect independent.
Unfortunately I am now stuck with SIXX, because it is loading wrong
classes from other namespaces and throwing exceptions because of
unknown instance-variables. :-(
Thanks for your help

Yup, it was a problem with infinity recursion and critical sections.
Everything looked up in inside thousands of critical sections building
up and I think the VW just couldn't handle this anymore.
It is fixed now and there is even a stupid test checking for the
absence of this problem. But it is quite hard to test such kind of code
properly.
Give me a few more hours and SmallWiki should be safely usable with the
basic SIXX storage attached.

I would like to have the possibility to have a color/icon for the page
that changes depending on
whether the page just is edited by somebody else.

Do not hurry .... now you have got plenty of time... Read the manuals.
Actually the Smalltalk-IDE is great in recovering things.
The change sorter or something allows you to select parts of the changes
from today and load them! I'have done this a few times as well
but I do not rember the details.
I'm eagerly awaiting SmallWiki but be careful!

I've just completely fucked-up my image. It has grown from a few MB to
a whole GB and it does not load anymore when I try start VW. So I had a
look at the changeset-file (working.cha) and there seems to be all the
code that I wrote this morning.
Does anybody knows how to load part of that stuff?
Cheers

I had a short look at several licenses: MIT, BSD, LGPL and SqueakL. If
I could vote, I would prefer them in the given order.
I like the MIT license simply because it is easily understandable and I
do not have to read 20 pages of difficult legal stuff ...
I do not like the Squeak license, because there is the name of Apple
everywhere and there are some really strange things, as discussed in
the Squeak mailing list. I don't have anything against apple, but I
don't want non smalltalkers to think that they are using something from
apple.
What do you think?
