There are a lot of security issues with that since in Smalltalk
loading code means executing code (with the access rights of the
image). Not saving the image might not help that much if you home
directory has just been deleted. But that's not really the issue here.
Ok, yes that is true. If you download a smalltalk package that is evil it
could delete data from your machine. But that is the case with MC,
SqueakMap and any other thing. It isn't unique to what I am talking about.
As far as
implementation, I'm sure that wont be too hard
Then please show us a prototype.
You mean of how it should work? Look at Joomla, you go to a component page,
say "add a new component" and it gives you a huge list of components people
have made. You select one and it gets added to the system. Now it can be
place inside pages just other components.
Or do you mean how it would be implemented in Squeak? For that it would be
much like SqueakMap.
Or maybe you are asking me to do the work. If no one else has done it by
the time I get to it, then I will. :) I'm just not the fastest implementer
since work takes up 14 hours of my day and I have a wife and a new baby. :)
