The amber website has had a non functional ProfStef page for several months, I have propose this pull request https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber-website/pull/19 to address this issue. In developing this PR I have come to the conclusion that the examples are poorly modularized and do not promote easy reuse. The real roadblock had been that all of amber-examples need to be fixed while the trysmalltalk/profstef code had been finished - all the other code was not used by the website but was holding the website back because of monolithic construction of amber-examples.
Examples that can be built in a modular fashion should be build in amber. Amber has benefited from the decomposition of the single monolith is was several years ago into the amber, amber-cli, amber-dev modules.
Lets make all new amber examples modules that can be independently updated.
The problem of package construction is a key issue raised by @herby in this post:
plan for version 0.15 is at play in this case. We do not have tools to make it easy to create modular packages. We should create them.
