It should, however things are fragile at the moment due to a lot of independent components involved
are currently moving.
Monticello has a HTTP problem (I think I really should fix that).
Metacello is in a transitional state as the scripting api is to be finalized soon.
Seaside is being prepared for 3.1 and so Configurations are being worked on.
A lot of project are migrating repositories.

long story short, I cannot guarantee that either the squeakmap entry or the metacello
config are working, but we are short on staff recently :)

I also hope that we find time to put a seaside job on http://build.squeak.org/

Most of the times when I asked for help with this, I was offered some premade-Image with one or both of them in it. But that is not good enough. I need reproducible artefacts if I want to use code for a system that I want to work - commercially or not.


You raise an important topic. I would say, we are aware that jumpstarting Squeak, or Seaside on Squeak
is currently not really obvious nor easy. 

That being said, I am curious, what your expected experience would be :)
