[Glass] Questions about Rowan 3

[patrik at finworks.biz]

Hi everyone,

I do have some questions concerning Rowan 3. I have searched for them
myself, but I'm probably missing some pieces to the puzzle.  

This is summary of what I have found out:
 - Rowan 3 is an OSS code package manager using git as backend
 - Supports both FileTree (repo info: Monticello repository for
directory-based Monticello packages enabling the use of different kinds
of CVS (e.g. git). for managing Smalltalk source code) and Tonel (repo
info: a file-per-class format for monticello repositories) repositories
 - Jadeite needs Rowan (3)

My questions:
 - What problem are you solving with Rowan 3?
 - What are the key differences between Rowan 3 and its predecessor(s)?
 - How to load Rowan 3 to other extent like a seaside one (e.g. for GS
3.7.1)?
 - Is there a possibility to add Rowan 3 to an older GS (extent)?  
 - What are its limitations?

 
Best regards,
Patrik Svestka
