Hi Juan -
Congrats. This is pretty neat. What version of Squeak did you originally start from? I'm curious because I'm wondering how much of that work would be applicable to Squeak.org (perhaps in some smaller chunks).
Cheers,

Thanks, Andreas!
I started from 3.7, before 3.8 existed. There are two kinds of work here.
First is stuff removal and cleanup. I think it is not worth to apply this effort (a huge one) to a different image. I believe that efforts for true Squeak kernel image would benefit a lot if they start from Cuis.
Second is a lot of smaller goodies and refactoring. This stuff could be useful for other images. I have the work of the last year in this image as over 150 small change sets. (They also include stuff from Mantis and squeak-dev). I need to make these available and document them. I'll be doing this during the next weeks.
I hope all this is of use for the official Squeak release. Not sure how. I guess the board needs to come with a "where is Squeak headed", so we know how to help.
Cheers, Juan Vuletich
