Today we'll be going back to the VASTGoodies.com site, and walking through the process of contributing code to the site. Using the tools we downloaded last time, this is pretty easy. First, we load the goodies into our image. Then, in a Configuration Maps Browser, select a configuration and note the two new items towards the bottom:
Select Edit Annotations to bring up a properties window. This is how you specify the various bits of information that appear on the website itself, giving information to other users about you:
Select the Project tab to fill in details about your project:
Now, hit the Ok button, and go back to the Configuration Map Browser. Select the Publish to VASTGoodies.com option in the menu:
You'll get a confirmation dialog - just hit Ok:
Now go back to the web browser and refresh the page - you should see your project in the list. That's all there is to it.

The basic browsers in VA Smalltalk are not your only option - you can also load the Trailblazer tools, which look and behave a little differently. Today we'll look at a few basics for Trailblazer, starting with how to get the tools loaded. First, open the Load features UI:
Next, scroll down, select Trailblazer, and move it to the right:
Note the message in the transcript - the Trailblazer tools are not on by default. To turn them on, go to the Tools menu, and toggle the Trailblazer option on:
Now, open the Configuration Maps Browser, and you'll see a different tool than what we've looked at previously:
Try opening the Application browser - you'll see that's different as well:
Remember that you can now toggle this on and off from the Tools menu - if you end up preferring the base tools, just turn Trailblazer off.

Apparently, Koans are interactive tests, and they are fairly popular with the "mainstream languages". I got an email today pointing to this start at a GNU Smalltalk set of them

Well, today's delay was a good two hours - and the excitement didn't end there. The plane stopped short of the runway, the flight deck door opened, and one of the attendants took up a blocking position while one of the crew came out to look at something. A few minutes later the captain announced that there was a bigger gap between the door and the outside than the attendants thought was normal, but he figured it was ok (nervous laughter throughout the plane) - so he said we were going to head out anyway.
That was strange enough, but then a guy walks past me (I was sitting in 8D) from the back, into first class, and goes into the bathroom. None of the attendants take any notice. Ok, fine - up in first, the attendant there is taking drink orders, when suddenly we start racing down the runway, taking her by surprise - she had to sprint back to her jumpseat.
If you use VisualWorks, you might find the Blue Magic tools of interest - watch these two screencasts they've pushed up. They are a bit old (2 years), but I hadn't seen them before:

Once you've turned on the Trailblazer tools, you can start to see where the name comes from. Open up the Configuration Maps browser, and look at the drop down menu highlighted below. In the main text area below it, you'll see the "trail" that brought you here:
Next, scroll down, select Trailblazer, and move it to the right:
Now, select one of the editions for the map - notice how the view below chages. Now that you are looking at a specific edition, you can see more than History and Trail:
Expand that menu, and you'll see that you can view notes, comments, and a number of other things specific to the selected edition. Go ahead and select each one, and look at how the view changes for each:
For long lived projects, one of the more interesting views is History. Select that and you can see all of the branch history, from the origin of the selected edition to where it is now:
Finally, select Pre-Requisites. For the CounterMap I'm using here, you won't see any - recall that I set those at the map level, and we are looking at the applications that make up the map. The point is that Trailblazer lets you drill down to that level right here:
Remember that you can now toggle this on and off from the Tools menu - if you end up preferring the base tools, just turn Trailblazer off.

If this technology developed by researchers at the University of Tokyo ever ends up as a commercial product, then you could have the terrifying experience of your hand being possessed, moving itself without any commands from your own brain. You would, for all intents and purposes, become Bruce Campbell’s Ashley ‘Ash’ J. Williams in The Evil Dead.
