It's just dummy data!

Yes, today we more or less have three options:

1. Just register a homepage for the package. You are then on your own from there.
2. Register a download url to a zip, tgz whatever. The tool can download it but
that is about it.
3. Register a module path. Today that will not lead you anywhere because we
haven't integrated SqueakMap with Modules yet, but after I have done that you
will be able to have tools load it fully.

...and after thinking about this I would like to add one more:

4. If the downloaded file is a cs.gz the tool could offer to decompress and file
it in. That would be nice.

Oh yes! I am aware that I have been writing too much postings on the list for
you to bother to read it all ;-) but I have on numerous occasions hinted (and
asked for help) that the next step is to build a Morphic SqueakMap browser.

THAT will be the primary tool for users. The web UI is just a last resort.

Would you like to help out? The model is right there in the zip I released - you
just need to slap a Morphic UI on top. :-)
