[Moose-dev] The case of MondrianPaintings

[Alexandre Bergel]

Dear List,

MondrianPaintings is a package belonging to the Mondrian repository  
that contains few classes apparently to compute cycles, render a  
distribution map, and render some views related to Flair.

There is a number of problems with this package:
	- It contains too few tests. Among the 9 test run, 4 raise an error.  
Apparently CollectionExtensions is required, which belongs to Moose.  
Mondrian cannot depends on Moose. Maybe CollectionExtensions may be  
moved into a standalone package for which both Mondrian and Moose can  
depend on.
	- MOSmalltalkPaintings>>viewWAPackageHierarchy depends on WAPackage  
which is not present in Mondrian and in a Dev image

What should we do with this package? We could move it to Moose, but  
identifying cycles is an interesting feature that go beyond Moose. As  
far as a I can see, making CollectionExtensions an independent package  
looks the best compromise.

Cheers,
Alexandre
