Smalltalk does already have good blog/cms's, however other than for existing Smalltalk programmers there is no obvious reason why anyone else should invest any time into exploring these. ariliquin wrote:

This is another story, but for most users there probably should not be a need to delve into code. ariliquin wrote:

Smalltalk could really use a free, open source CMS with an intuitive UI. How many commercial Smalltalk CMS's are there actually? I can think of a couple but I am not sure how/if they managed to solve the usability issue? Are they built on top of Pier or something else altogether? ariliquin wrote:

Exactly, what is remarkable about a Smalltalk CMS ... about Smalltalk, why should someone care? Smalltalk needs more remarkable applications that make the headlines, applications like DabbleDB ... which is now shutting down and made me wonder what will happen with their source code, will it be donated or go down the gurgler? ps. Something which hasn't really been touched yet in this thread is the how/where to host Smalltalk based applications. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Smalltalk-hosting-tp3384077p3392951.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
