RE: How to use the BFAV?
by Brent Vukmer 03 Nov '03

Tom - Please do add a "Using the BFAV" section! I think a brief blurb on the main page, with details on a separate page, is the best way to go. The page isn't password-protected. I appreciate your help. Thanks, Brent

Dynapad: I'm looking for a partner
by Aaron J Reichow 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hello all! After much thought, I've decided to look for a person who is willing to help me out on Dynapad. Duties would be coding, being a bit of moral support, helping out with design. The sticky point is that fundamentally, Dynapad is a project borne out of my wants and needs. I cringe at phrasing this in a way that may come off as childish, but I think it is a common thing with coders who have very personal projects. I would want to be doing most of the main design of the code, although depending on what was being worked on that could be at varying levels of detail. Dynapad is my baby, and whoever works on it would have to be in sync with my vision at the very least. But also, the ideal candidate would critique my designs, let me know if I was totally going in the wrong direction, or missed something elegant and simple. The ideal person wouldn't have to be willing to put in a ton of hours, even relatively few would be good- anything would help. I am a very busy person, much to my annoyance, at least when it comes to working on Dynapad. I go to school full time and will be soon working 30 hours a week. There are also other time-eaters like friends and my SO as well. But Dynapad is suffering, users are hungry for a release, and I feel like I owe them something for all of my promises. If anyone out there is interested in the possibility, please email me and let me know who you are, what you've done, where you are on the Mystical Smalltalk Path. The perfect person would have moderate experience coding in Smalltalk or any OOP language, and at least a little experience in Morphic. I have been pondering this for quite a while, but avoiding it, afraid of what it may mean for what I see as my project. Frankly, I'm afraid of Dynapad becoming something else if someone other than myself is involved at the innermost cores. I think that fear may be a little unfounded, as long as the volunteer is willing to at least hear me out as far as how I think things should work in the system. I suppose I'm most interested in working with just one person- but if there are more than one people willing to specialize, that may be an interesting possibility as well. If you're interested at all, please email me! Regards, Aaron -- "truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies." :: r. w. emerson

[ENH] lineEndingsTweak-ls
by Lex Spoon 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

from preamble: "Change Set: lineEndingsTweak-ls Date: 21 September 2003 Author: Lex Spoon Stupid tweak for withSqueakLineEndings. Information from a class variable was being recomputed every time the method runs. This matters when a lot of small strings are being converted, e.g. individual lines of a large text file. "!

from preamble: "Change Set: MoviesCleanup Date: 30 July 2003 Author: Adam Spitz Moves some classes and methods into the Movies-* categories. Still leaves the 'add movie clip player' menu item in PianoRollScoreMorph; there might be some kind of general menu-registration mechanism coming soon, so we'll deal with that then."

RE: How to use the BFAV?

Brent, Thanks for the help. I'm in. I would like to update the Swiki page you pointed me to (http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3214), so that right below the Installing the BFAV <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3299> section , There is a section like: Using the BFAV <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3299> Once you've installed BFAF, open the default view on the Archive by doing either of the following: * Left click to bring up World menu. Select "open...". From the Open Menu, select Bug Fixes Archive Viewer. * Or, do-it: "BugFixArchiveViewer viewGsugSwikiFixesArchive" . The viewer will take a few minutes to load updates. Once the viewer opens, try out some of the filtering options -- see the tiny-menu in the top pane. Try filtering for groups with "weakness" in the title or body text. Also, try filtering for just groups that have a post from "ned(a)bike-nomad.com". Try filtering for groups with 3 or more posts. Finally, try resetting all filters to their defaults. The BugFixArchiveViewer allows you to send an email directly from the viewer, or to edit your comments in CommentNotePad, a helper application that is designed to help with automating a lot of the annoying details about posting to the Bug Fixes Archive (QA tags, using parens correctly, getting the title exactly the same, etc). Play with the CommentNotePad via the "edit comments in note pad" mouse menu option. Try "edit summary comments" in the tiny-menu; also try setting some of the QA options like "SLint-Approved"; then try sending the comment as an email. Or maybe just this Using the BFAV <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3299> * For hints on how to use the Viewer, see: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3228 Would you be willing to do that (or give me the id/password to do it?) Thanks again Tom
