WebVelocity

Soek is a Smalltalk application that provides a different way to navigate through documentation and source code of a Smalltalk library. Instead of the classic multi-list browser view in an image, Soek offers a flat view on all methods and classes and is build using the Seaside Web framework.

I discovered this way of publishing a framework when I worked with Rails and did most of my searches on Railsbrain.com. Not only I could easily find a particular class or method, it also showed me similar methods, other implementations, classes and their sources. The learning effect was great and it became my standard search tool and recommendation to others.

If you want an existing package to register as a WebVelocity one and as a result make it visible to the browser page, you can evaluate this script:

(Store.Registry packageNamed: 'Your-Package-Name')
	propertyAt: #application put: true;
	propertyAt: #namespace put: 'Your-Namespace';
	propertyAt: #velocityThemeName put: 'Default'.

which I found when looking for the newApplication functionality in the image.
