Improving the LnF : anyone willing to collaborate?
by Mayuresh Kathe 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

I can start off with working on small incremental improvements to the look-and-feel of the user interface, but I have no expertise in actually writing or modifying existing code to make that happen. Anyone interested in collaborating with me on that front? BTW, hope the rest of you too are in this for the long term! ~Mayuresh

Opening Morphs factory inside the primary window?
by Mayuresh Kathe 05 Dec '18

Hello, Is it possible to enable the Morphs factory window be opened inside the primary Self window? Just last night I was musing about possible use-cases for Self and found it to be a good application for the OLPC effort, albeit with a lot of application software built-in. In that scenario, the ideal would be for the OLPC hardware to boot-up off the Linux kernel and then launch Self inside a minimal version of X11/XOrg in full-screen mode. With that in mind, having the factory or even the spy or for that matter any other tool open up under it's own window would be confusing to the user (kids). I have practically retired from active work in the industry and would love to spend time on a project which could marry Self with the OLPC, but lack the experience to make the window problem's solution a reality. Anyone interested and willing to solve this problem? ~Mayuresh

Hello, I'm glad that I stumbled upon the Self language web page today. Just remembered the old times when I used to work with Self. An old secret, I learned Smalltalk only so that I could work with Self. :-) Hope development on Self language is till continuing. Looking forward to restarting engagement with Self after all these years. Best, ~Mayuresh
