Hi,

I've completed an initial port of Pier to Magritte with pragma instance side descriptions - now known as Magritte 3. The Pier port is now named Pier 3.
In addition to base systems I've ported the following:

Magritte 3 ported addons:
--------
Magritte-Json
MAgritte-XMLBinding


Pier 3 ported addons:
-----
Pier-Admin
Pier-Blog
Pier-Book
Pier-Desihn
Pier-Documents
Pier-EditorEnh
Pier-FileUpload-*
Pier-Google
Pier-JQuery
Pier-Kernel-Distributions
Pier-LinkChecker
Pier-Shout
Pier-Wysiwyg
Pier-Exporter-Code
Pier-Randomizer
Pier-Setup
Pier-Twitter

Note I've moved the Pier-Blog and Pier-Book to the Pier 3 add-ons repository (http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pier3addons)

The repositories are:

http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pier3
http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/magritte3
http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/magritte3addons
http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pier3addons

Note: I've deleted "Pier 2 unstable" and "Magritte 2 unstable" repositories - all the code has migrated to the repositories above.

There are four supporting configurations:
ConfigurationOfMagritte3
ConfigurationOfMagritte3AddOns
ConfigurationOfPier3
ConfigurationOfPier3AddOns

Try it out with:

Gofer it
   squeaksource: 'MetacelloRespository';
   package: 'ConfigurationOfPier3AddOns';
   load.

ConfigurationOfPier3AddOns project stableVersion load: 'Pier-Admin'

the above will pull in a significant portion of the add ons and core libraries and give you a sense of how stable the code is.

Caveats:
----
All the tests are green, but I've only applied limited testing.
I've tested the above 'Pier-Admin' loading on a clean Pharo 1.3 image.
I've removed the Gemstone information from the configurations. I guess once everything is stable on Pharo we can consider a Gemstone port.

Let me know how you get on

Nick
