This is all good.  Like I said, I think this is the most important task
for Squeak and those of us who want to do serious research and work with
Squeak are hoping for great benefits to result.  

I wonder if SqueakMap shouldn't be a bit like a semantic web search
engine, indexing modules that provide their own metadata.  SqueakMap
could crawl over the network of module repositories, discovering new
modules as they are published or updated.
