Avi I asked lukas and adrian to think about a solution in which you do 
not have to fight with installation of Apache on legacy Unix system, so 
that we do not have to ask a lot of permissions and all the related 
mess.

Yeap.
I wanted to have a free, lean, dead stupid way for people to publish 
and share their work. No ftp no other boring stuff to get in my 
way,....just one click and some options. and an automatic SqueakMap 
publication.

My impression is that we should try to stabilize and improve it now and 
people can use and install the code somewhere else.
We will have a public stable backuped free server. The key point here 
is that we should make sure that we can identify the same versions in 
different repositories (which is not well done with Store) and have 
automatic publications (auto mirroring).

:) Lukas and Adrian are cooooool.
I just succeed to break SqueakSource in a strange manner so they will 
have a look at that.


Avi for me the next step is:
	- can we have a binary format for Monticello, alex coded for the 
modules of Henrik a binary format.
We were thinking to release it (I'm not sure that this is good). Bu 
this is for the future :)
