[Cuis-dev] PreferenceBrowser tool

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Hi,

Mariano, it is nice to have alternatives. Nevertheless, my first though 
was that Cuis-Smalltalk-Extra was a too generic name and the repo may 
just end as a load of unrelated packages. Then as Juan, I though -tools 
will be a better name. Whatever, choices is yours.

More important, I encourage people writing widgets for their own project 
to contribute back to Cuis-Smalltalk-UI and to make the effort to adapt 
to the existing stuff there. I did this extensively when porting DrGeo 
and facing the need to write more widgets. I think it is important for 
the community. The worst scenario will be to have various widgets in 
different repo the newbies will not find or have difficulties to reuse. 
I don't think our community is big enough to dilute

Mariano, it seems you have writing some widgets for your preference 
browser, it will be nice to reviewer if some could be extracted to 
Cuis-Smalltalk-UI and see how to integrate. It will make it easier for 
other to reuse, including me.

Thanks

Hilaire
