Marcus, Steff: Very nice . Gentle Introduction to Smalltalk is a beautiful add, but we lost any beginner info about Games.
Yes, I did see this, and then decided to just stick the intro there. The games are easily availabe via the Objects Tool.

You could put an a huge amout of time into improving that stuff that is in the image. (I personaly thing it needs to be completely redone)
But: We should release 3.7 *as soon as possible* and not spend now weeks on the full image. That needs to be done while there is time, not when there is no time.
Agreed. We could allow a couple more days of testing but if no show-stopping bugs appear we should release the existing gamma2 images as 3.7 final.
Edgar's comments would be relevant for 3.8, though. Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff that could be done with the intro projects.
For what it's worth, I gave the g2Full image a quick test by opening all of the packages registered in the "open..." menu, and fiddling with them. Everything seems to be working. The only obvious problem I noticed was that the default page for Scamper ("browser:about") doesn't seem to work. Perhaps the default page should be changed to squeak.org or the swiki. (And I guess this means changing the package... the guides/harvesters should really have automatic co-maintainer access somehow to any SM packages registered as "Full". Maybe this should be a to-do for 3.8.)
Also, I don't know offhand how to set up Celeste to test it. Has anyone verified that Celeste works as included in the g2Full image?

And a couple of bad news. I add the atached walkback , caused by exploring Squeak.
Click on email reader don't work. Celeste and Scamper icons missing of Flap Tools
The package maintainer of the mail reader adviced to inlcude it just like that. How is it not working? It does not show any mail, but I think this is because you need to configure it.
Flaps: Tools are supposed to register themselves. If that not works, it's either a non-showstopper bug in the image or a bug in the package, both we can't do anything about right now.
attached debug-log: Is there a way to reproduce the bug? Does it happen often? Is it a complete show-stopping kind of bug?
