We are working on how to build minimal Pharo kernels (with the goal of a declarative bootstrap so you can build your own
version of Smalltalk running in the normal Pharo image to experiment with new language features, as one example, or
create a minimal image for deployment).
There is some information from Nicolas Paez who worked on this when visiting RMOD last year:
http://www.fast.org.ar/smalltalks2010/videos/Seed+project%3A+The+challenge+of+creating+a+Smalltalk+kernel
http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/archives/talks/2010-Smalltalks-Paez-Seed.pdf
The status is that we learned a lot and continue to work on it... more to come later ;-)
Ben is now working in the project. He will soon create a website inside RMOD with some more information.
He has also some slides and a full report explaing about it :)
