Folks -

We need a volunteer or two.

Stefan is ready to package up Squeak 2.7.  I'm neither familiar with Linux packaging nor with what documentation would be most useful for this distribution.  It would be wonderful if one or two Linux Squeakers could step forward and help Stefan gather up what he needs for the Independence Linux release.

Thanks in advance
