Morphic questions

I tried loading Connectors, but it was not a good experience:
1) There was no published version for any Squeak version.
2) After saying take any version it could find, it was missing a
prerequisite. Loading anyway only loaded code that was missing other
classes.
3) Assuming I did the wrong thing by going to SqueakMap, I went back to
the SqueakMap page and tried the home page link, only to be told it did
not exist.
This is not a good testament for Squeak. I do not know if it is just a
lot of undocumented magic tricks to make this work, or what. I would
really like to use Squeak, but it is getting harder and harder to see
it as anything more than a collection of unfinished research projects.
Please help me correct this impression.
