Just create a group of 2 or 3 interested in media and others and make 
the same we are doing for KCP or others. I think that people will love 
to see that and this will be part of Squeak.
Am'I that wrong? Or just become a Guides, I would love to see you 
Guides.

I see the future as:
	- groups of people having certain objectives collaborating to produce 
something good
	- guides just to pay attention that there is conflict of interest 
(meaning one group
	screw up work of another one)
	- Squeak trying to incorporate all the stuff

Sure this can be difficult but this is exciting.

What I would like to see is:
	- excellent network support
	- excellent multimedia support
	- excellent UI builder support (because Morph stinks and the system 
suffers of
	all these Smalltalk isMorphic everywhere, and we do not have yet a 
good UI builder)
	- excellent kernel support (compilers, AST, ...)

I think that the guides are missing to point at key aspects other 
people should work on.
But this is not a tragedy just a current lack. I think that this is 
what we should learn form the current crisis.
