Dear Squeakers,
A happy 2006! May the Gods of Smalltalk finally prevail over the dark-roasted side this year ;-).
Recall that I proposed, just before xmas, to move from the current "per-package" team setup (which, in theory, would lead to 10-15 teams maintaining small packages) to a "per logical subpart" team setup, where the subsets would be components like "Core Class Library" (Kernel, Objects, Collections), "I/O" (Files, Network), "UI" (Morphic, MVC), "Development" (Tools and assorted stuff).
It's been a bit silent on the topic - this could indicate a lack of interest, an abundance of people enjoying a holiday, or a silent approval. For the record, Bryce, Brent and Doug reacted in a positive manner, so so far we have 4 in favor and 0 against ;-)
Anyway, if you approve (or not), it'd be helpful to say so even with a little "me too" posting. I think it is a simple and quite logical step, merely fine-tuning what we are already doing, but it could well be that I'm overlooking something here. And with just three people publicly backing the idea, it's a little bit thin ice to start implementing this...
