Language

• Comments: One Line Comments? Nested Comments? see case 3571

Clean and Order

• Clean category / comments (some package are totally wrong)
• Towards SLint clean (integrate SLint rules as unit tests)
• PopMenu cleaning + request notification as fundation

Files and Streams

• Integrate and use XStreams?

Packages, Frameworks, Tools and Libraries

• Easy In-Image Way to Find and Load External Projects
• Package fileouter (HTML, Latex, chunk)
• Use better algorithm for substring matching (Boyer Moore).

UI

• Decouple core/basic/model classes from UI (see case 3148)

Tools

• All tools should support traits (esp. the browser)
• Better interface for smallLint
• Debugger code completion should take into account the types of the objects that are actually assigned to variables
• It would be nice to have a better test runner that
  • use a tree to show the tests under a class
  • takes advantage of the history showing which tests degrades since the last run.
  • use icons to represent the status of the run tests at the packages, class, level.

Packages and SCM

• We need a way to refactor packages (naming, merging, ...)
• How can we version non-smalltalk things?
• Taking package per package and checking comments and adequacy| of the package in terms of classes containing it: We should have a real map of each package and its status for the next milestones.

Fixes and enhancement

• Evaluate extension of moose for inclusions in pharo base library
• AbsoluteDelay and RelativeDelay see case 7527. 

General

• OS process and other
• Fix FFI

Language and MOP

• BetterMop
• Do not store class definitions as do-its in changeset
• Distinguish workspace do-its from refactoring do-its in the changes
• A way to model meta data
  • Meta data for methods
  • Meta data for classes 

Currently under Active Development

• Better code meta model (Ring)
• Scripting syntax (Coral)
• Traits with State (Slots Project)
• Cleaning Morphic (better integration of Polymorph, i.e., no overrides)
• Kernel image: add process to create UI-less image (Nuts)
• One single default better and faster browser (Nautilus)
• A modern Canvas (Athens)
