FYI, this weekend I’ll be preparing some documentation for Context, and would be happy to converse in-depth about it here and elsewhere online.

Context 3 alpha 3 released
Posted in Context, Naiad, Spoon with tags context on 19 August 2011 by Craig LattaHey there, I’ve released Context 3 alpha 3. I look forward to tearing through a few more alphas in the coming days at ESUG! :) See you soon.
first Naiad module page created
Posted in Naiad, Spoon on 10 July 2011 by Craig LattaNaiad is Spoon’s module system. For every Naiad module, there can be a webpage describing it and providing something for Google to crawl. This is the basis of a discovery system for Naiad modules. It includes…
- a well-known master Naiad module pages ID (so that one can search the web for all Naiad module pages)
- the module’s name
- the module’s author’s ID (so that one can search the web for the pages of the modules by that author)
- the module’s ID
- a description of the module’s content
- the module’s current version
- the module’s latest timestamp
- the module’s tags
- the IDs of the module’s prerequisite modules (for which one may search the web)
- one or more installation links. When clicked, an installation link hits a webserver running in a local Spoon system. The link contains an encoded hostname and port for a remote Spoon system which actually serves the module.
I created the first Naiad module page, for the “fundamental constants” module. I also made a custom search engine for finding Naiad module pages.
initial Context modularization finished
Posted in Context, Naiad, Spoon with tags context on 5 July 2011 by Craig LattaI’ve finished the initial Context modularization. It’s 32 modules, 179 classes, and 1953 methods. The listing on the linked page above is now machine-generated from the modules.
next steps
Posted in Naiad, Spoon on 26 June 2011 by Craig LattaWell, the initial Spoon modularization is coming along nicely. It has taken a form which is both human and machine readable, so I’m going to write code which reads it and creates the modules. Then I’ll check for methods which aren’t mentioned, probably removing some more stuff that hasn’t been used recently. Then I’ll test serving a module to another system, and adapt the remote browsing support to Squeak 4.2. The next Spoon release will consist of minimal history and subject memories and VMs (packaged as host-platform applications), remote browsing changes, VM changes, and VM build environments.
It looks like the first non-bootstrap module will be for printing (printOn: etc.).
