Verse - A link to this showed up on the Metaverse list. Looks like they've gotten a long way, here and, as the poster mentioned, the problem is *huge*! Looks like some good information here.

Sigh! More things to do. I joined the CVSTProj project on SourceForge. They're working on a Smalltalk interface to the Linux CVS version management system and I'll mostly try to help out with the Squeak ports. I need another project like I need the proverbial hole in the head. I also wrote email to Bob Hartwig asking about his plans for the Squeak port of the Refactoring Browser. I'd like to get involved with that, also. I think I'd better stop with those two for now. I'm already over-extended!

FAQTS - Knowledge Base - FAQTS : Computers : Programming : Languages - I just added folders for Squeak, Smalltalk, Lisp, and Scheme and supplied starter info for Squeak & Smalltalk. I also added a Q/A with a Dmoz link on the main Languages page. I think I like this service; we'll see if it hangs around. That's my major issue with these Internet ventures -- if we invest lots of time and energy in developing things on them will it all be wasted when they go offline? Which ones do you bet on?

Let's get started on links to Extreme Programming (XP, XProgramming) with a link to the main XProgramming.com page. XP, proposed by Kent Beck, et al., is an unusual (read "extreme") approach to software development. Lots of good ideas here, although I'm not sure everyone can do everything recommended. These dudes should be able to generate a nice consulting business from this, though!
