In tODE, Pharo is used as a very thin client ... everything that you do 
in tODE (including  creating custom windows and development tools) is 
done on the server (GemStone) ...

Just test in GemStone and there are tools for running tests.

You just fix in GemStone ...

 From these last two questions I am wondering if you are really asking 
questions about the "develop in Pharo, deploy in GemStone" model... if 
so then consider tODE as a the development environment that you would 
use when working with GemStone ...

Okay, this really does look like you are asking about the "develop in 
Pharo, deploy in GemStone" which isn't directly related to tODE ...

This last question is a slightly different question and Richard's 
cryptic comments are aimed at something that I will "pre-announce" to 
this list later today:) Some of Richard's "irrelevant now" comments may 
be a bit optimistic (in the short term):).

If we consider that there are currently two development models:
   1. develop in GemStone, deploy in GemStone
   2. develop in Pharo, deploy in GemStone

The third model would be classified as "develop in Pharo, deploy in 
Pharo and store data in GemStone" ...

You'll have to wait until after lunch and later today for more details:)
