A reflective extension of Smalltalk. Provides support mainly for:
- Explicit metaclasses
- Aspect-Oriented Programming
- Mixin-based inheritance
A Smalltalk implementation of the Fractal component model. It is used for various experiments including Aspect-Oriented Programming. For this aim an extension named Fractal-AOP is being developed.
A Smalltalk implementation of the Maleva component model. It is used for various experiments and especially build software agents.
an open P2P platform that supports automatic peer discovery without requiring any infrastructure. Hence, UbiquiTalk can be used either within a network infrastructure or an adhoc network (e.g. Wifi).
rST is a framework for supporting distributed Squeak objects. The main goal of the project is transparency, so you don't need to change your objects to become remote. rST has been
originally designed and implemented by Diego Gomez. We're currently maintaining it.
New File In/File Out Format
This project aims at allowing editing a full class or some classes methods in a single file with any text editor. The text format is simply a sequence of valid Smalltalk expressions (e.g. class creation message). Method definitions are possible using, two messages.
- The first one is short and allows adding a method to a class without taking care of the category (the method appears in the browser 'as yet unclassified'). Example :
MyClass << #(myMethod "Body of myMethod" )
- The second message to add a method under some particular category. Example :
MyClass inCategory: #someCategory addMethod: #(myMethod "Body of myMethod" )

Easy Morphic GUI is a framework that allows building Morphic-based GUIs without actually coding. Developers mainly use halos to parametrize morphs to fit the application needs. E-toys can also be used to make the GUI even more attractive.
As part of the VerySmallTalk project, we investigate control architectures for robots. One of our main application domain is robotic Urban Search And Rescue (USAR). Our goal is to have a fleet of mobile robots that will collaborate in order to autonomously explore some area. Currently, we experiment using a fleet of wifibots. We implemented in Squeak / Smalltalk a framework that allows to both drive robots and build simulations.

Multiple Repositories Support for Monticello (By Michaël Piel)
Small add-on which adds one button SaveToAll to the Monticello Browser to automatically save a package to all repositories available for that package simultaneously.
Available on SqueakSource as Monticello package
MonticelloRename
Extends Monticello package manager (in Squeak) to support package renaming.
See SqueakSource
BackupMaker
A simple tool for backups using Squeak. Available through SqueakMap.
You can also visit the corresonding page on SqueakMap web
AutoTranscript
Automatically opens a transcript whenever you enter a project.
Nice Do It
Evaluates an expression in a low priority process. Opens a window to supervise the process.
Available as a SqueakMap package
Tagged Method Template
Inserts the developper initials and timestamp in the mehtod template displayed by the browser.
