Periodically, people ask us whether we support blah, where blah is some network protocol, database system, graphics library, etc. There are many things that the Cincom Smalltalk team would like to support, but simply does not have the time (or at this point, the level of customer demand) required in order to implement. So, I thought I would post a list of projects that some of expressed interest in,and that Cincom would consider productizing (or at least shipping as a goodie) if we received the code.
Not necessarily in order of importance:
- GFST - See this page for details on the currently interested parties and progress
- a MySQL database driver. Check the VW MySQL site for details. The driver is for VW 3.1 - obviously of interest would be a VW 7 port
- Refactored MQS and CICS support. Visit the Public Repository, and grab the ECS Bundle, version 1.1. The current version uses an ObjectLens like interface; a more API driven approach would likely be useful
- Linux (and Unix) ODBC EXDI Database support. Having ODBC Database support from Linux in particular would be highly useful
