I shipped Squeak 4.0, I suppose that's probably the biggest thing I've done for the community thus far; though I've pushed changes through the inbox into Squeak. Lately I've been hacking a lot on Cuis. I do test automation for a living, and it keeps me quite busy, though I think I can shave 10 minutes off on an average day.<div>
<br></div><div>I'm not sure that I can drop what I'm doing mid-day to respond to a crisis, though, now that I think about it; I don't generally have that kind of flexibility at work right now, and I won't be able to do any work whatsoever from the company network. I imagine many other folks out there will have similar constraints, and I do think this indicates that we should offload as much of this load as is convenient to hosted solutions. I note that <a href="http://code.google.com/s/squeak/">http://code.google.com/s/squeak/</a> is not taken. I think whether or not to do something like this died in the bikeshed on squeak-dev. What do you think Ken? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd like to kill Mantis in favor of the Google hosted thing, for example. It works fine, it mostly administers itself, etc. Seems to work okay for the Pharo community.</div><div><br></div><div>Ken: I'm particularly interested in which services have consumed the most of your time.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Steven: I agree, it's probably worth doing some automated monitoring type stuff. It's not the ten minutes, it's the 45 minutes one spends clearing the table to dine on the ten minutes:) It might even be fun to make a Squeak community dashboard that shows some stats on the various systems we use, but for now I think the best thing we can do is document what we have out there now.<br>

I've been moderating squeak-dev for some time. If there's something that I can do (1) on the weekend and (2) not too time-consuming, I might be able to help.<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Steve<div><div></div>
