Based on the comments on reddit for the 7.0 release, I think it would be good to have a "How to get started" documentation that's up to date and really simple. I had a look at Pharo by Example and it's pretty out of date (Pharo Launcher is very different now). It would be nice to have:

  • Installing Pharo with Pharo Launcher (the curl/bash approaches are technical and set off alarms for people who are rightly paranoid of running scripts to install things).
  • Up-to-date explanation of Pharo Launcher
  • Explaining simply what is a Pharo environment: Image, VM, Package, File, Git repo. I'm not sure beginners will need the .changes files or more details. They're in the other docs anyway.
    Here's a diagram (I can attach the PlantUML source if you need) to give an idea:
