Retrobjects somewhere?

by seki

Hello, I found many references to the Retrobjects emulation package by Gabriel Honoré, from ESUG 2009. Unfortunately, the hosting web site for the distribution packages (http://www.zeek-it.com.ar/retrobjects/main.html) has vanished, the files are not available trough archive.org, and I did not managed to find an address to ask the author directly. Could someone give me an address to join Retrobjects author? Or does someone that had kept a copy of retrobjects-1.0.2-esug-runtime-installer.exe and retrobjects-1.0.2-esug-development.zip could send it to me? Thanks for your attention :) Sébastien KIRCHE -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Retrobjects-somewhere-tp4653128.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Esug-list] [gsoc-mentors] Fwd: [GSoC Mentors] [Announce] Call for Proposals for Doc Sprint Summit v2.0

by Serge Stinckwich

I'm not sure we should propose to work on documentation for one of the project of the last gsoc. Maybe a big player like Pharo, Seaside or MOOSE that needs more documentation.
