Hello,<br>
<br>
Yes, thank you as well for this contribution, Angel.<br>
<br>
Amazing to watch these visualizations.<br>
<br>
>From the perspective of the examples given (PhP, Python, OpenOffice,<br>
....) the forking of Squeak to Pharo and Cuis (and other earlier forks<br>
like Scratch and Etoys) seems not to be something extraordinary. It<br>
is the way how open source software is developed to suit people's<br>
need.<br>
<br>
Interesting to see how pieces of code are exchanged forth and back<br>
between the different forks. This is actually happens as well between<br>
Squeak (<a href="http://www.squeak.org" target="_blank">www.squeak.org</a>) , Pharo (<a href="http://www.pharo-project.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pharo-project.org/</a>) and<br>
Cuis. All share a common virtual machine and _very_ important, the<br>
same license (MIT). This makes things go smooth.<br>
<br>
It is helpful to check out how something is done in Squeak and Pharo<br>
in comparison to Cuis for example. It allows to search for good<br>
solutions. Having different forks unblocks the development process in<br>
many ways as it allows to be exploratory.<br>
<br>
For Cuis one of the distinctive features is that we really want to<br>
make good use of github.<br>
(as of now we have just started to do that, thank you Angel for your<br>
guidance :-)<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A little comment here, I think the greatest value of Cuis is cleaning and simplicity, </div><div>is really understandable. I can not say the same about Squeak nor Pharo.</div><div><br>
</div><div><div>I'm going deep in both images (Squeak 4.4 and Pharo 1.4) to make the cleanest possible</div><div>implementation of network features needed in Cuis and the nightmare is important (Said</div></div><div>with all respect, of course).</div>
