Based on such a premise the Guides could possibly recruit some 
volunteers who can download, install, run tests on SM packages as they 
become available. Just so that we can have requisite data for making 
such determinations. Even I, at my current level of Squeakability can 
participate on something like that.

I could maintain a certain set of minimal images/configurations from 
which I could go thru the SM steps and provide my results.

Can I use SM from a local repository?
For example I have all my home computers on a LAN. It would be nice if I 
could configure my Squeaks to check local repository for said package 
and if not then proceed to the original location.

This could help reduce bandwidth consumption for those of us who have 
multiple computers and multiple Squeaks. Hopefully that would become 
normative in the future. As Squeak apps start to proliferate this will 
become a more common situation. It may not be too uncommon now with the 
group of users on this list.

This would also help enable SMable CD distributions. The Squeak could 
either begin with the local repository on the CD or check the SM on the 
net to compare versions against local repository.

Just more thinkin' out loud. :)

Thanks,
