Hi, first of all excuse me for forgetting to cite "Spoon" on my article. I am subscribed to the mailing list, and I have tried it a lot of time ago. The Spoon approach is very interesting because it is very original and can compete with the so called "network language" (read: .NET and Java). We can assume Craig's Spoon a very smart way to achieve the minimal image.
Answering to Hannes Hirzel, my primary goal is the opposite: to mantain the first "Rock Solid" image, to keep the fears about instability to the minimum, and to have a measure of the abandoned code/packages/methods in the Squeak Major subsystems.
By the way, after some discussion on my article, I will send an email to the guide to give my help to the Rock Solid project, adding more details to this idea.
....Happy new year :)

Hi--
Hannes asks Giovanni:
Are you volunteering to develop the so-called 'minimal image' as it has been discussed in this list during this year?
Lest people think there's no one currently working on this, note that I am, as part of Spoon[*]. Comments and suggestions are welcome, as always.
