[Cuis-dev] First steps in Cuis

[stephen at heaveneverywhere.com]

Thanks to the several people who clarified the CuisUniversity image for me.

It’d be nice if the web site had a simple download of an image without the added packages.

About the naming: It’s a shame--and it makes the system harder to learn--to have to explain that “Chalten is a richer model of the Gregorian calendar” or “Aconcagua is a measures package.”  That’s why the designers of Smalltalk had category header names like Kernel, Collections, Graphics, etc.  Even my Siren package uses the category header “Music” rather than “Siren.”

stp

PS: Siren also has a model of Magnitudes so that one can say, e.g., [1/4 note - 40 msec]. I’ll have to compare it to the Aconcagua model...

>  Chalten is a richer model of the Gregorian calendar than the one that comes with Cuis. It has more abstractions such as day of month, month of year, etc., and it allows you to create time objects easily, for example: January/1/2022 or January first, 2022, etc.

Note that I also put it in the world menu; one could also have a preference setting to use it instead of the normal Cuis browser all the time.

You may also be interested in the "bare bones" official Cuis, hosted at https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev <https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev> . It is updated more frequently.
