I'm hoping to have some students do part of this project by May.  In
particular, they will have a complete history of Squeak on a server
that can be accessed by the Squeak history facilities.  This will
allow us to make a release with an empty changes file without losing
any history.  People who do not want to be connected to the internet
can get their own copy of the history database.  I was not planning on
building any new analysis tools, but it should be easy to build them.
