I agree so heartily, I spent a decent amount of time creating some initial core-packages pages on the Swiki!

Please review them when you get the chance.

Ok, so then we'd have a package in the SM database that's neither 
installable nor visible in the list. How does that help us?

Now, I love SqueakMap as much as the next guy. But let's not go 
overboard here. SM is a catalog for packages that are not in the image. 
It provides a way to easily find and load these packages. It's *not* a 
registry of Squeak development efforts. That's what the Swiki is for.
