I guess there are a couple of aspects to being in charge of the Full Image:

1. Deciding which packages should be part of the Full release.  There 
are a number of things which would be good to add (Connectors, etc.), 
and occasionally something needs to be removed (such as PWS).  These 
would of course stay as packages on SqueakMap and would be added to the 
"Upgrade to Full" script, but would not be added to the update stream. 
But they would be in the Full image download for 3.7 and future releases.

2. Working on the appearance and runtime content of the Full release 
image itself (as opposed to the packages/source code).  For example, 
right now, the 3.6 final release looks a lot like the 3.4 & 3.2 
releases, except for some updates to the Welcome window.  Lots of other 
things could be updated/improved, such as the projects which appear in 
Worlds of Squeak, etc.  I didn't have much time to work on this myself, 
since I was more focused on maintaining the update stream.

So, if you want to take responsibility for #2, that would be great.  And 
you could also be in charge of #1 if you'd like, although this would 
involve more coordination with the Guides & the community when deciding 
which packages should be in or out.

As you said in another message, I think keeping Full the same as the 
Media release is a good idea for now.
