You can test to enter a project active: Click and hold down over a
ProjectViewMorph 
and a menu pops up. Select enter active and the project is activated but
scaled down
within the current project.

The other thing that is required is also equivalent to another important current need in Squeak, and that is to run separate name spaces in separate projects so that multiple projects will not cause reference conflicts.  We expect to have this out in the system imminently.  It is only my being somewhat scattered that has caused it to wait this long :(.

It would be cool if we could have a permanet Nebraska image up with net access.
This would have to be on a system that would reboot by it self when it
goes down:-)
I could do this if I had a extra computer available (donations accespted)
I think loots of people have only one computer and have not tested
Nebraska at all.
