I fear my previous response to Peter might be misunderstood.  I did 
not mean by my remarks to discredit his ideas or belittle his 
efforts, nor those of any others.  Nor did I suggest that he is by 
any means "one of us" because of his efforts to market.  To the 
contrary, peter is a meaningful and vital member of the community. 
Finally, I did not mean to suggest that any new member of the 
community is in any sense unwelcome, regardless of their tastes, 
interests or skills.

What I was getting at is that Peter's remarks that "looks matter," 
are not as powerful as they would be if we were talking about a more 
finished "product."

I think we should be focusing, for just awhile longer, on those who 
are deeply interested in what Squeak *does* rather than what it 
*looks like.*

I do not deny that Peter is 100% correct in some regards.

In time, the Squeak community will need to attract those who, upon 
seeing an "enhanced" Squeak will learn what it *looks like,* and be 
moved to use it.

For now, IMHO, the Squeak community is better served by attracting 
those who, upon seeing plain vanilla Squeak will learn what it *is,* 
and be moved to make it more.
