The document summarizes several projects being worked on through Google Summer of Code and Summertalk involving the Squeak programming language and environment. They include enhancing the new Squeak compiler and Monticello 2, integrating traits into OmniBrowser, building an HTML/CSS parser, extending Pier, and developing collaborative versions of Squeak programming tools using Croquet.

1. Google Summer
of Code
&
Summertalk

2. NewCompiler
• Student: Mathieu Suen
• Mentor: Markus Denker
• Enhance the new Squeak compiler and
optimize the generated code

3. NewCompiler
• Why NewCompiler?
• Support for full block closures (optional)
• Based on the AST of the Refactoring
Engine
• SmaCC-based Parser
• Retargable Backend

4. NewCompiler
• Latest SmaCC compatibility
• Decompiling
• BlockContext
• BlockClosure
• Many tests for the decompiler
• A lot of bug fixes

5. NewCompiler
• Optimization
• Primitive for BlockClosure>>value
• Primitive for
BlockClosure>>createBlock:
• Bytecode for retrieving temporaries
inside closure environment

6. Monticello 2
• Student: Damien Cassou
• Mentor: Stéphane Ducasse
• Restarting MC2 development, enhancing
its visibility and writing documentation.

7. Monticello 2
• Development
• GUI (based on OmniBrowser)
• MC1-like repository
• Refactorings/cleanings

8. Monticello 2
• Visibility
• Blog posts (http://blog.summer.squeak.org)
• Mails to the squeak-dev mailing list
• Package on the Universe
• Hosted on SqueakSource

9. Monticello 2
• Documentation
• Class and method comments
• Wiki (http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5624)
• UML diagrams
• Links to resources (old blog posts,
public mails...)
• Generic documentation

10. Monticello 2
• Status
• Model nearly complete and tested
• GUI opened to features
• Further work
• Reach MC1 main features
• Use the new design to test new
features (non package-based...)

11. OB Traits integration
• Student: Juraj Kubelka
• Mentor: Stéphane Ducasse
• To offer an OmniBrowser framework
extension for easy development with
Traits

12. OB Traits integration
• What has been done so far:
• Trait-composition hierarchy
• Method exclusion/deletion /
compilation
• Enhancements in OmniBrowser and
OB package

13. OB Traits integration
• Further work:
• Refactoring to Traits
• Tree widget
• Other requests on ob-dev or squek-dev
mailing list

14. OB Traits integration
• Visibility
• Mails to the ob-dev mailing list
• Package on the Universe
• Hosted on Wiresong.ca

15. Squeak HTML/CSS
Parser
• Student: Jérome Chauveau
• Mentor: Todd Blanchard
• The goal is to build a HTML/CSS
renderer to display mails and
previewing pages during Seaside
application developments for example.

16. OWRTA
• Student: Oleg Korsak
• Mentor: Keith Hodges
• Extending Pier usability and improving
scalability and performance.

17. Collaborative
Development
• Student: Benjamin Vanderheyden
Schroeder
• Mentor: Ralph Johnson
• Developing Croquet versions of Squeak
programing tools.
