Thanks you both for that! Best regards Janko Janko Mivšek 2008-05-12T16:06:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.server.aida/893 Dear all, With Nico we just had a long IRC brainstorming about how to do localization support in Aida. Here is the proposal: e addText: #fr->'Salut' So, all texts are added as associations with initial language as a key and text in that language as value. Such association then implies that this text can be later shown in many languages as soon as translations are provided. And how will translations be done? In two ways: in-line directly on the web page or in special web app with the translation table. In-line will be preferable for translators, because they will see the complete context in which the text resides. Scope of i18 texts: Question is how to do translations of apps wich are usually made of reusable web elements/components. Shall we provide some global message catalog as is in case of GetText? Such a global catalog is hard to maintain if there is a lot of text. But it avoids duplicates. Our proposal is not to have global but a local message catalogs, one per each element generating method in WebComponent/WebApp. Yes, there will be a lot of duplication of translations that way but this is still much simpler to translate and maintain than some global catalog. Also keep in mind that we translate reusable components, which will reduce duplicate translation work at the end. Where are translations stored? By default directly in class methods of each WebApp or WebComponent subclass in a protocol 'translations'. This approach is similar to method images, that is images directly in methods and have the same advantages - translations can be stored together with the code in version systems. Later we can add some WebTranslations class (like WebStyle). That's it, a proposal, now it is turn on you for comments.

Best regards Janko Janko Mivšek 2008-05-05T20:40:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.server.aida/870 Dear Squeakers, welcome to this edition of The WeeklySqueakSummary, an irregular traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog. This is, by the way, the first edition that is also sent to the AIDA mailing list - thanks for the invitation! Highlights of the past weeks: Hilaire Fernandes is writing a series of blog entries that introduce Squeak specifically to educators [10]. Material of this kind is extremely welcome and much needed! Two announcements have come true: first, Gilad Bracha's talk on Newspeak, which he gave at HPI in Potsdam, is now available online [7] (some trouble with viewing have been reported, but with a recent player and no over-zealous firewall, viewing should be no problem). Second, the Seaside tutorial hosted at HPI has been turned into a book, which is finally available (the first book on Seaside, yay, and please forgive the author his personal pride) [8]. Finally, there's three technical items. Squeak is now available on yet another platform, namely the Syllable OS [4]. At the time of posting, only headless images were supported, but it ran Seaside. JavaConnect and JNIPort [12] are two projects that support Smalltalk/Java interoperability in very elegant ways. While they are currently available only on VisualWorks (and, as for JNIPort, Dolphin), they set standards in terms of language/platform connectivity. SqueakFS [13] allows for browsing the Squeak image as a mounted file system (on Mac OS X and Linux, using the FUSE library). The top-level directory supports looking at the image along one of three axes: along the class hierarchy, grouped by class category, and as a flat space containing all classes. At present, it's read-only, but future extensions are already being planned.

Michael Michael Rueger 2008-04-24T20:19:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.server.aida/867 Dear all, Good news, both our proposed talks are accepted: Rob Rothwell Why Smalltalk? A Healthcare Perspective on Creating Internal Domain Specific Languages June 20, 2008 3:30 pm - 4:15 pm The current challenge facing Healthcare is not so much a clinical problem; rather, the challenge is a business problem. As an industry, Healthcare stands far behind its counterpart’s ability to retrieve and report clinical and business data for a multitude of reasons. This presentation will use this extra-ordinary setting to explore some of the ways in which Smalltalk is well suited to create an internal Domain Specific Language (DSL) that can enable Healthcare organizations to overcome the following obstacles: • Minimal development staff • Constantly changing reporting requirements • Technically challenged workforce Finally, we will discuss the emergence of the excellent tools available (such as Squeak and Aida) which makes the creation of such DSL’s possible for ordinary programmers willing to take the plunge. Michael Rueger AIDA/Scribo, a powerful CMS at your fingertips! June 21, 2008 9:15 am - 10:00 am AIDA/Scribo is a light-weight but full featured Content Management System, with CMS core and blog, forum, wiki, sites, and RSS plugins. Scribo follows Aida philosophy, so it is very easy to use, understand and extend. Scribo runs on top of AIDA/Web, an opensource Smalltalk web framework, which allows to write rich, complex but easily maintainable web applications without a fuss. Presentation will show design goals, architecture, concrete examples and future plans for both AIDA/Web and Scribo. So, we will be very well represented on Smalltalk Solution this year. Thanks again Rob and Michael for your initiative!
